This is Bakshie's best. Hands down. Just enough polish matched with just enough raw impulse. A prophet is not honored in his homeland. Ralph should have had his own studio. He's a national treasure.
Animated movies from America in this time period are nothing compared to what was going on in what I can only guess is late 70's early 80's.Animated movies these days are...overwhelmingly cute.Though its not of this genre.THE Land Before Time wasn't happy cute like the majority of Animated movies of this era.Little Foot's mom was slain by a predator.I wish I could find more 80's animated films.They have more substance than anything of today
crazy was thrown from the roof by bugaloo, rozzie must have married bugaloo {fits her whorish character}, and I'm sure there was much coke, lsd, shrooms, and marijuana in pre-production.... Love Bakshi!!!!!!! fuggin thanks for posting this movie
the 80's music kills this flick. a poster below mentions the preview from Nightcap, yes the Monotones song worked perfectly. still a good flick. Bakshi's scripts were real thats for sure.
@Blakefe It seems to be a major theme of the overall movie. If you listen to the full lyrics of that last song it really explains it. "For our honor we would rumble, the truth was we were bored...The smart ones all got out, the fools never gave in...[years later when the singer is out of the gang] I still don't have much money, I'll work until I die, But I believe I'm ahead of the game because I survived" It's all about the immaturity and idiocy of violence committed by boys play acting as men
After the heavy symbolism expressed more clearly in Heavy Traffic, I had a lot of trouble understanding the message this film tries to deliver as well, but I think the other comments here have enlightened me. I think I prefer Heavy Traffic's atmosphere and story, but this one had its moments as well. The cartoony action in some scenes looks hilarious, and I love how shamelessly 80's this film is with the music.
Bakshi's women look simply ingenious. In Crazy's hallucination sequence, he captures the woman's features flawlessly. Some other scenes with Rozzie's face share this quality. This is what happens when life drawing is applied to the principles of character design and cartoon animation PROPERLY. I can tell Bakshi did his studying, and cared about more than just throwing some stock characters together. His designs are the exact antithesis of Disney's "undertures" such as Ariel and Belle.
@BaconStein I believe the film was originally going to have authentic fifties music. Bakshi showed a preview of this film on a show called NIGHTCAP and the scene where Vinnie and Rozzie meet for the first time was set to "Who Wrote The Book of Love" by The Monotones. I guess Bakshi ran into some copyright issues.
Now I know this movie had some issues with progression, but I believe that the dialogue is extremely genuine and smooth. Every line seems so natural and unscripted.
We had a dude in our hood just like Crazy. We called him psycho.That fool used to walk around the neighborhood wearing night vision goggles at one o' clock in the afternoon lol. One time 5 dudes jumped him with bats and crowbars and still couldn't take his crazy ass down.
The ending wouldn't get much respect from filmgoers these days because it wasn't the usual "hollywood" ending. What we ended up with was a conclusion with a heart if not "perfection". I don't think you could call the reunion sad because Vinnie and Roz found each other, and despite time passing by, there was finally a moment of true caring on Vinnie's part. He didn't walk out the door. Just for sticking by Roz with all her outbursts, he finally blossomed into a real human being.
its telling us that for all his good looks and fast talking he was just a kid who never maned up and just eased throw life relying on his looks and wit but when they left he had nothing but throwt cancer
i felt like all the characters were stupid, and weak which was true of being young in the era. Crazy was always trying to prove himself tough but had no convictions and then was a rat. Vinnie was a coward trying to look cool and tough. And rosie was just a dumb girl who was hot and just wanted a tough badass bf. Older and ugly does he really appreciate something special and chooses not to run.
i think what i love about the movie is the era, the soundtrack and that feel of the story. You're right its all about the mood. i recommend heavy traffic, fritz the cat. Wizards have been sort of boycotted in my world since he stole the art style and story of his former roommate Mark Brode who made a character similar to necron9000 years before wizard. Personally my favorite is American pop and Fire and Ice. Frazetta is the best.
I saw Fritz the Cat (or at least what they have available on youtube, which isn't that much) and heavy traffic prior to this one. I think this is the last Bakshi film I've watched. I'll go check out Frazetta.
fire and ice was just a barbarian story but he used the art of frank frazetta. this is the highest point of bakshi work. To use rotoscope for stylized frank frazetta's character designs. It was the perfect synergy of illustration and animation. I mean american pop was so straight up rotoscope i could spot out the actor that played marty mcfly's brother in the movie.
today was the first time i saw this movie i've seen all of Bakshi's other work but never heard of this one but man was it freakin awesome the ending was perfect just sux crazy died Vinnie & Rozzie 4ever!
I hated the ending i thought it was stupid. I was like wow when they reavealed it was roz. lol i got coonskin on vhs n it's my favorite. Then Heavy Traffic is second n this is third. im bout to watch fritz tha cat.
I very unique upload. I'm kinda iffy whether I like Ralph's storytelling ability; it's pretty hard to follow the dialogue sometimes. But I can't knock this for being one of the better examples of his artistic talent, you can see where John K got some of his inspiration.
The dialogue is pure fifty's vernacular. Someday 50 years from now, people will look @ movies like "Clueless" & "Mean Girls" & wonder what the heck were people talking about back then.
are you nuts?? the music was the best thing from this whole movie!! ^_^ i even downloaded the soundtrack cuz i couldnt find it anywhere and it rocks!! BIG TIME!
That was too cool. There was a blockbuster by my house that use to have all the Baski movies, then when they switched everything to DVD most of the movies returned except this one. I hadn't seen this one, so thanks a million.
The Hey Good Lookin' soundtrack can be purchased from here cdbabydotcom
Also please take a moment to sign the petition the petition for a DVD release. Search under "hey good lookin dvd petition" and it should be the first result.
"If you turn a woman upside down they all look alike" means just what Vinny demonstrates with his fingers, that at that angle all women are worth nothing more than sexual objects.
This is Bakshie's best. Hands down. Just enough polish matched with just enough raw impulse. A prophet is not honored in his homeland. Ralph should have had his own studio. He's a national treasure.
