Okay, good laugh! I'm Eastern European & discovered Barrelhouse when I came to Australia (er-hem) a couple/few/several years ago (decades). This is silliness but, Petey was THE MAN! I'm a concert-trained pianist & desperately wanted to find some of his tracks online. The 78's I found were worn out before digital recording was a twinkle in its grandparent's eye. I wanna hear PETEY again! Does anyone know where I can find genuine tracks? OK. I'll take COW COW or JELLY ROLL... but I want PETEY!
OMG...this movie was pure comedy for me. I love how the demons leotards didnt even match. LOL. Also, the head movements Rudy makes from side to side when he uses the devil's walking stick are hilarious. LMAO.
"Petey Wheatstraw" is a cautionary tale second only to "Dolemite" for its wry examination of the human condition: You don't bargain with the devil. And you don't mess with Rudy Ray Moore. Especially when his karate skills have been brushed up.
my mother was the script supervisor on this film. at the time, i was about 5. i happened to go to a hippy pre-school that taught us about our "starsigns". my sign is "taurus the bull", so i used to ask my mother all the time, "mom, when am i going to turn into taurus the bull?!" She in return, borrowed some of the devil horns in this film (thanks, marie carter), and while i was asleep, glued those devil horns on my head, and said, "Wake up honey, you've turned into taurus the bull."
Wow! Really cool! What did he say it was like to work with Rudy Ray Moore? Does anyone know what happened to G. Tito Shaw? He played the devil in the movie.
James had a blast working on this film. He said it was a great experience.. He was also casted in Black Sisters Revenge from the same director. Hmmm, I'll ask him what happened to G.
The face at :04 s and the :ugh-maka maka" sound at :12 is hilarious!
I actually remember seeing this at the Harvey Illinois theatre. My friends and I hid and stayed for the late show. This was some nasty sh** going on. Learned to cuss from it though.
yes.. first a watermelon comes out.. his dad is Ex-"Happy days" drummer "Sticks" later to be known as Jack Baker the porn star .. most well known role was as the pimp in New Wave Hookers.. He died of a disease (not aids though)..
@tmi1975 yep tim, Petey Wheatstraw was born ten years old hen he popped out, stood on his hands and tol his mama to get the F out. He grabbed a white woman for a tity to suck on, only to find a white man with a shot gun. Sooo old petey kicked that motherfuckas ass, jumped to his feet and moved his ass. It didnt matter that he broke the law, because he was Petey Wheatstraw, the Devils Son in LAW!!! And I Aint Lyin!!
the bachelors party scene was tight. My man Petey went around the room 'motorboatin' between the girls legs. At the end, all of the girls was just comotose
I Love this film the soundtrack was the bomb,the bachelor party was tight,lil Larrys deah scene made me cry and scarface willie showed me that fake thugs kill theirselves when the shit hits the Fan..
Screw Dreamgirls this the film i wanna star in but this time it has to be grittier..So Mr Rudy Ray Moore Holla
