      Hercules returns is a hidden gem

      “He looks like a condom full of walnuts!” "He wouldn’t notice if someone was up him with an arm full of deck chairs

        Yes!

        There are far too few people who have seen it.

        I remember the first time I watched it, I had no idea what I was getting into. Then I worked out what was about to happen.

        And it was magic.

      Yes to Hercules Returns. I let people know that if they’re going to watch it to stick through the first 20 minutes. It’s pretty terrible at the start.

      Kentucky Fried Movie is highly influential, routinely sampled, and yet I think mostly unseen. Like, everyone’s seen Airplane. They’ve probably seen Naked Gun and heard of Police Squad. But this and Amazon Women On The Moon are those writers… doing Rick & Morty’s interdimensional cable, basically. Freeform skits lasting however long they need to. The dumbest ideas you’ve ever heard, going in bizarre directions, and working far better than you expect. One of them stops the movie to have a panel discussion of the stereotypes present in the previous skit, and it is masterful.

      I wouldn’t say either is better than the straight spoofs. But they’re what skit shows have been chasing for fifty years, and they’re not gonna waste your time.

      Hudson Hawk is an amazing slapstick comedy that was marketed as an action movie because of Bruce Willis.

      Although the “shall I r**e them?” line is completely out of left field, unfunny, and unneeded.
