Best movie ever!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Rated R for Language,Violence and Some Nudity. Quebec Rating:13+ Canadian Home Video Rating:14AHey Good Lookin is one of the four Ralph Bakshi films I have seen.The other Bakshi films I have seen are Fritz The Cat(his best movie),Coonskin(good but not as good as fritz or this) and Cool World(which wasn't very good...but not bad).Not many people seem to have seen this film(as of August 28 2007, it has 97 votes).Hey Good Lookin is a film about the 1950's.A mysterious man tells a girl a story.The story follows Vinnie, who is the leader of the gang "The Stompers".Him and his friend Crazy Shapiro have fun smoking,drinking and trying to pick up girls.One day, Vinnie accidentally goes on the rival black gang's turf.The leader of the gang asks Vinnie to rumble with him.He agrees.The rest of the film shows gang trouble and Vinnie and Shapiro dating two girls.Vinnie's girl's name is Roz.Also Crazy Shapiro's father is a cop who hates his son and tries to kill him.The rumble at the end of the film is pretty good but weird with Shapiro hallucinating and shooting at garbage cans and street signs.Vinnie ends up getting shot but is okay and Shapiro falls to his death.We then see the film go back to 1982 where we find that the mysterious man is Vinnie and the girl is Roz.The two then reunite.Hey Good Lookin is one of bakshi's better films and if you can find it, I recommend it.Hopefully this will come out on DVD.

You either love, loathe or simply don't understand Bakshi's films. I personally fall into the first category and this was the film that started it all for me at the tender age of 12. It still remains my favourite 15 years later. Me and a friend of mine were obsessed with it and would quote it to each other (and others who must have wondered what the hell we were on about) constantly.I love Bakshi's animation, it maybe rough and sketchy at times but this is part of the appeal. It's far more organic than some pristine computer generated Disney schmaltz or his rotoscoped films. He has a wonderfully unique way of capturing characters in his art. 98% of people in his world are ugly. Though usually with a couple of exceptions. The love interest Rozzie, for example may well be the very ideal of a red blooded males fantasy, forget Jessica Rabbit! The dialogue (as in all his earlier pics) is wonderfully un-coached and at times sounds very improvised. It's drops a lot of the psycadelic and pseudo 60's philosophy that inhabited "Fritz the cat" and "Heavy traffic". There is also less of his trademark mixing of animation over live action backgrounds although it's still present to good effect in certain scenes. In a sense, it's perhaps more streamlined and consequently more accessible to new comers to the world of Bakshi than his previous works. What really makes the film for me though is Ric Sandlers superb soundtrack which (probably due to the films lack of anything beyond extreme cult success) has never been released. I implore those of you who feel the same to email him and tell so because I personally know (from experience) this music does still exist. And with enough interest it could see a release.Playin' To Win9 Out of 10

Hey, Goodlooking is an intelligent, dark, and satirical look on the American youth culture of the 50's. Look beyond the poor standard of animation to a story of friendship, love and betrayal. And, of course, there are some great tunes. This film is truly a case of substance over style, which is unfairly dismissed by most people. If you can get past the early-80's, cheap techniques, as in Bakshi's LOTR, you'll discover a great film that works on many different levels.

This full-length animated feature takes an amusing and often outrageous look at life during the '50s. Everything from street gangs to young love is given a satirical once-over. If you liked this you will love FRITZ THE CAT.
