1.There Was a Crooked Man starring: Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Hume Cronyn, Warren Oates, Burgess Meredith directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz January 18, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.97
On one of the discussion boards was a question about the pretty schoolteacher being carried along with the rioting mob, losing another piece of attire every time seen (yelling "warden," asking for help) for part of the riot sequence and then disappearing. And mention of seeing a still picture where she wore a hat, boots and a smile while running through the desert. Question was about the editing. An acquaintance saw the sneak preview of the picture in Long Beach while it was still being edited and mentioned that the striptease continued until she was chased into the desert through the hole dynamited in the prison wall. Should there ever be a DVD released with this "deleted scene," you let us all know, you all. (But after forty or fifty years, doubtful.)

2.Mystery Science Theater 3000: Shorts 2/Catalina Caper/Skydivers starring: Tommy Kirk, Del Moore, Peter Duryea, Robert Donner, Ulla Strömstedt directed by: Coleman Francis, Lee Sholem October 05, 1999

I, like many MSTies, believe some of the Best Brains' best work was done in the short-subjects that preceded some of the movies. But by the time the 'Shorts 2' compilation tape was being assembled, the cream had already been skimmed off into 'Shorts 1' and 'Mr B's Lost Shorts.' What's left here is not uniformly top-notch, although some of them are not bad. I've commented on the movies at more length on the individual videos' own pages. 'Catalina Caper' is one of my very favorite episodes, and captures all of the energy and rambunctiousness that especially characterized the early seasons. I think it's great. 'The Skydivers' has some of my favorite individual riffs and memorable host segments (like the Battle of the Swing Choirs), but the movie itself is so depressingly bad that even ... Read More

O.K. Anyone that knows of Russ Myers work (faster, kill, etc) this is a great flick, Well, we know Russ was a Breast man. And the openess of the late 60's & 70's shows in his films. Bad effects, bad acting, and cheesey plots to get people naked. "pizza Delivery" "Did someone call for a Plumber to clean her pipes?" LOL. Just roll with it,. Show your 17+ year old what we call pornographic for the time,. If you can find a copy in BETA, and a player, like I saw it in '74 or sometime..

i loved this movie as a kid and broke many toy guns acting out the last 20 mins. well it's not as good as i remember it to be but this tale of the army looking to keep the title guns away from the indians is liked by my boys and we watch it together and that makes this one worth checking out.
