Very little in the way of discussion about this movie online. Next to none on the imdb.com forum. Paul Harris was the best thing about this. <br />You already hit the nail on the head with the anachronisms. ("1956!" lol!) Those are hilarious! But anyone who's lived a little while could see right away that Serene was a man. I sure did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-6985989265093573202009-07-18T21:27:47.577-04:002009-07-18T21:27:47.577-04:00DRIVE-IN CLASSICS also contains the astonishing (T...DRIVE-IN CLASSICS also contains the astonishing (The Manipulator) with Mickey Rooney. <br /><br />Mill Creek Entertainment is one of the best things to happen to the video market in a long time. Their CULT MOVIES (the truly infamous Child Bride), GANGSTERS (Mr. Scarface), and CHILLING (The Bloody Brood) are so far the best. <br /><br />WARRIORS (Italian Hercules movies) and MARTIAL ART MOVIES (Sonny Cheba, Bruce Li) are on my wish list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-61293782525975103022009-06-04T07:45:42.690-04:002009-06-04T07:45:42.690-04:00I also somehow ended up owning this movie because ...I also somehow ended up owning this movie because of the Drive-In Classics set. I literally watched it with my mouth hanging open in awe.

There are enough riches in those boxes that we all get chances to scoop each other on something.<br /><br />Kate: I wonder whether the "Nineteen Fifty Six" strategy might work in real life, too. I could swear some Republican politicians have tried it at times.<br /><br />Cheesy:It does have wild moments and they do make the film fun overall. I look forward to your own comments at some point.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-81081861225346041222009-06-03T09:00:44.518-04:002009-06-03T09:00:44.518-04:00AWESOME WRITE UP, THIS IS A WILD FUN FLICK IN MY V...AWESOME WRITE UP, THIS IS A WILD FUN FLICK IN MY VIEW POINT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-25526516389458030402009-06-03T08:22:36.326-04:002009-06-03T08:22:36.326-04:00Damn, Samuel!

Good, "Jive Turkey" ain't, but interesting, it certainly is, and you've captured that. When I watched this a few weeks back, I shared some belly-laughs with my movie-watching partner in crime over the whole NINETEEN FIFTY SIX thing. If you say it enough times, movie, I might just believe you...! Great stuff, man.Tenebrous Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032561062849200919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-71901788072778605882009-06-03T01:46:57.352-04:002009-06-03T01:46:57.352-04:00I don't know why I haven't checked this on...I don't know why I haven't checked this one out yet. I have the Drive-In Classics box set so I really have no excuse.
