Very Cool!!!
A lot of fun.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
We have been searching for this movie on DVD for a few years and were very excited to actually find it. This is a classic! All the one-liners and slapstick comedy leave you wanting more. We first saw this movie in the late 80's and even recorded it on VHS. Unfortunately,the VHS tape stopped working. It was always a go to movie when there was nothing else to watch. We'd haul out the VCR and hook it up just so we could watch it. We still quote different lines from this movie today and I am sure being able to watch it again will just renew the fun of that. Ranking it right up there with Scavenger Hunt.(another hard to find movie)One of our favorites!!!
Hi everybody. I've started a website devoted to this movie at www.malooga.com. Guess who stopped by the other day? Mr. Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga himself! Yes, Allan Katz emailed me to say thanks for keeping the dream alive. He explained why the movie has not been released on DVD. It was owned originally by Vestron. When they went out of business, the new owners sold off all the international rights, and decided not to release it into theaters. Eventually this company was bought by Lions Gate, who I assume now have it in the vault. I've emailed them asking to have it released on DVD, but have had no response yet.We all know how great the movie is and maybe if lots of us email Lions Gate, they'll consider a DVD. It's a longshot, but hey, this is a cult film and it's going to take a lot of pressure to get what we want.Please stop by the site and have a look and let me know what you think. Allan sent me the original script along with a never before seen photo of Bob and I've posted these on the site. I'm planning to put lots of video clips up in the near future to make it more interesting. I have links where you can buy the VHS and posters.
This is one of the greatest films I remember from my childhood. I haven't been able to track down a copy in the UK, but still I search. Its a film which you can do impressions of with your friends for years to come. Its definatly worth seeing. Its humor is slightly repetative with the same jokes used a few times, but still, it works. Definately see this movie. It wasnt made to win any Oscars, but it does its trick to give you a laugh with your friends and make you feel good for a few hours :)
Comedy Central [cable channel] played this several times one year, and everytime i saw it i liked it MORE.... took me awhile to finally aquire it, but i got it now [VHS only]. The story and the charactors flow well and pretty soon you like the hunchback so much your tempted to name your first born "Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga "..... well... maybe not THAT much.
