Only Fools And Horses - Heroes And Villains (1996) T.I.T.C.O. (that's Trotters Independent Traders) is still having a bad time of it, cash flow-wise, with 125 Latvian radio-alarms remaining unsold. Rodney is on a sex regime with Cassandra which leaves him feeling more weak and feeble than usual. In a classic scene, Del and Rodney are seen running heroically through the estate giving chase to a street criminal, they forget they're dressed as Batman and Robin.
Only Fools And Horses - If They Could See Us Now (2001) Feature length episode from Christmas 2001. The Trotters have lost all their money so Del decides to take part in a game show and Rodney and Cassandra are having trouble with their love life.
Only Fools And Horses - To Hull And Back (1985) Del (David Jason), Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst), and Uncle Albert (Buster Merryfield) are up to more mischief in this feature-length episode. This time around, the boys are running errands in Amsterdam.
History Of The World - Part 1 (1981) In this spoof of great moments in history from the dawn of humanity through the French Revolution, director Mel Brooks delivers a twisted history lesson through his signature satirical, madcap humour. Funny, vulgar, and narrated by the great Orson Welles, 'History Of The World - Part I', tells the progress of humankind as cave dweller, tap-dancing slave, and biblical hero. The most famous bit in the film features Moses coming down from Mount Sinai. Other highlights include a hilarious Hitler On Ice sequence and other outrageous comic situations, unbelievably silly jokes, and inspired casting with the film itself mimicking several historical Hollywood epics, most notably 'The Greatest Story Ever Told' and 'The Ten Commandments', as well as a brilliant parody of '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
Robin Hood - Men In Tights (1993) Mel Brooks directed and co-wrote this satiric comedy which lampoons a number of cinematic treatments of the legend of Sherwood Forest, including Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and The Adventures of Robin Hood. Robin Hood (Cary Elwes) comes home after fighting in the Crusades to learn that the noble King Richard (Patrick Stewart) is in exile and that the despotic King John (Richard Lewis) now rules England, with the help of the Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees). Robin Hood assembles a band of fellow patriots to do battle with John and the Sheriff, including Asneeze (Isaac Hayes) and his son Ahchoo (Dave Chappelle), the blind watchman Blinkin (Mark Blankfield), Will Scarlet O'Hara (Matthew Porretta), and Rabbi Tuckman (Brooks). The Sheriff is eager to put Robin Hood out of business with the aid of criminal mastermind Don Giovanni (Dom DeLuise), but Robin soon has an ally in the royal palace when he falls for the lovely Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck), whose minder Broomhilde (Megan Cavanagh) has uncooperatively outfitted Marian with a chastity belt. The cast also includes Tracy Ullman, Robert Ridgely, and Clive Revill.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
Twelve Chairs (1970) A stylish, frantic fable and one of director Mel Brooks's earliest films, 'The Twelve Chairs' is a madcap mystery set in revolutionary Russia. An aging ex-nobleman of the czarist regime, Count I.M. Vorobyaninov, has finally adjusted to life under the commissars in Russia. But when both he and the local priest, Father Fyodor, find out that a fortune in the count's family jewels is hidden in a chair's upholstery the chair being one of a set of 12 they each separately return to Moscow to find the hidden fortune. Along the way, the count enlists the aid of a thief in the hilarious treasure hunt. Closer in style to 'The Producers' than many of Brooks' other spoofs, 'The Twelve Chairs' is an overlooked comedy gem. DeLuise gives an uproarious performance in which he employs slapstick and physical humour liberally. There is a human side to this film, too, just as there was with Zero Mostel's character, Max Bialystock, in 'The Producers', in the form of Moody's Vorobyaninov. Based on a Russian novel, 'The Twelve Chairs' marries neurotic humor and cultural dilemmas in the same vein as Woody Allen films in later years.
Heavyweights (1995) A group of adolescents are enjoying a wild summer at 'fat camp'... until a neurotic fitness fanatic buys the camp and imposes an absurd diet and exercise regime. The kids must gain control before their summer wastes away...
The Hangover (2009) From "Old School" director Todd Phillips comes a comedy about a bachelor party gone very, very wrong. Two days before his wedding, Doug (Justin Bartha) drives to Las Vegas with his best buddies Phil and Stu (Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms) and his future brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis), for a blow-out bachelor party they vow they'll never forget. But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, they can't remember a thing. Their luxury hotel suite is beyond trashed and the groom is nowhere to be found. With no clue about what happened and little time to spare, the trio must attempt to retrace their bad decisions from the night before in order to figure out where things went wrong, in the hope of finding Doug and getting him back to L.A. in time for his wedding. But the more they begin to uncover, the more they realize just how much trouble they're really in.
Flypaper (2011) From the writers of The Hangover, Patrick Dempsey (Valentine’s Day, Enchanted) and Ashley Judd (Tooth Fairy) star in this all out action heist comedy caper! A man caught in the middle of two simultaneous robberies at the same bank desperately tries to protect the teller with whom he's secretly in love. Tripp Kennedy (Patrick Dempsey) ambles into a bank near closing time, just as two different gangs unwittingly converge to rob it. A shoot-out erupts, and Tripp tackles the smart, pretty teller (Ashley Judd), to protect her. The gangs—one clearly made up of pros and the other a couple of buffoons named Peanut Butter (Tim Blake Nelson) and Jelly (Pruitt Taylor Vince) - have deadlocked themselves in a Mexican standoff. The bank’s security system starts the end of day lockdown and seals everyone into the building. As the night evolves, a hilarious game of cat and mouse ensues as Tripp and Kaitlin try to save the day, escape being killed, and avoid falling in love... almost.
Full Plot Details
In 'Life Stinks', Goddard Bolt, a billionaire developer, is challenged by business rival Vance Crasswell to live on the streets without money for one month among the homeless both men are trying to further displace by building on the property that is their only home. Goddard is forced to dance for his money, avoid turf wars, develop survival tactics, live in a cardboard box, and more. But along the way, he makes valuable friends among the street people who teach him that life is not about owning material items but about the integrity of the human spirit. One of these is bag lady Molly, who, in one of the most inspired moments of the film, dances with Goddard in a dilapidated building to the strains of Cole Porter's Easy To Love. It is humanistic moments such as this one that makes what could have been a silly movie into a film more reminiscent of Brooks's madcap but poignant films such as 'Young Frankenstein'.
