Description

This movie is bad, it plays into dumb racial stereotypes, it's crude, it features Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise drugging and kidnapping Farrah Fawcett for laughs, Jackie Chan is mostly wasted, and Dean Martin looks like he's about to die. But it's nowhere near the worst movie we've seen, and has a sort of obnoxious charm.

Sure, the 1980s were a great decade for film. But have you seen all of them? No, neither has Mary. In fact, some pretty big films passed her by, what with being in kindergarten at the time: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Moonstruck, My Neighbor Totoro... So it's time to fix that. Artwork, opening and closing themes by Dennis Lingg Produced and edited by Mary Jones
