Midnight Confessions: Disco Godfather (1979)

[NepperCat]

Not a bad review. But please for the love of the DISCO GODFATHER dont ever do another Rudy Ray Moore impression that other people can hear. I heard its illegal for white people to do that or something.

[shonuffisthemaster]

That's JULIUS J CARRY THE III to you motherfucka!

[ScotteDio]

Dude, I miss exploite shit!! Now have ultra cheesey mainstream crap with big budget but no original idea.

[TifaL20]

LOL I wanna see this.

[4thtroika]

I miss Brisco County Jr, too. I didn't hear about Julius Carry passing away. R.I.P.

[FreddiePipes]

@4thtroika - Yeah, unfortunately his death didn't get a lot of coverage.

WHOOAAAA NELLY!!... i feel like i just came back from a SPACE launch... I just caught THE DISCO GODFATHER at the New Beverly Cinema Last night in LA.... ON... (drumroll).... a 35mm PRINT!...

now, pause to catch your breath!

I've got to say that some of the scenes seem to be slightly shifted and dubbed in the DVD release. The ending seemed to be a bit longer as well on the big screen... merely another couple of seconds of hallucinating and screaming :) (u'll an abrupt cut via freeze frame)

[miasmicmatt]

I also noticed that the film's key moment when the old man who's "ol bitch (SHEILA- the dog) ran away" is murdered and Tucker receives a dead dog at his door... his reaction in the original print is a more PROLONGED "oh no no no"...

Also, this film WAS really poorly lit... BUT(!).. it may surprise you that much of the murkiness evident on VHS and DVD versions are ACTUALLY the result of transfers!... the film was crisp and clear...so much so, in fact that i didn't laugh 1/2 as much at Detective

[miasmicmatt]

Frank Finn's character... WOW... he seems a little credible!... i don't know if any art houses exist in your town, but there was a print from XENON presented there last night with Jamaa Fanaka's Penitentiary 3...

I can cross another seemingly impossible occurence off the bucket list..... i can say.....with GREATNESS... I.... WATCHED...THE DISCO...GODFATHER....starring RUDY (echo) RAY (echo) MOORE (echo)... ON THE BIG SCREEN!

[FreddiePipes]

That's interesting about the lighting--hopefully someday a better print will be released on DVD.

That's quite the accomplishment, man. You ARE very lucky to get to see any Rudy Ray Moore film on the bring screen. Pretty cool.

Love your style. Truly a great review for a 'horrible' film.. I have the movie.. I love it for the 70's cheese.. RRM is the best.. Dolemite is my name, & fucking up mother fuckers is my game.. He also stole the scenes in Big Money Hustlas.. I'm trying to find the posters of his 4 films..

[kbi35]

His line delivery is truly bad. love how he says his lines. Like reading from an eye chart. Still love the Human Tornado opening scenes.. Screwing the sherrifs white wife.. Jumping over a hill nude and shit.. And gets in his get away car screaming.. Drive, nigga, drive.

[FreddiePipes]

Yup, there will never be another Rudy Ray Moore.

[HoTaNdSwEeT]

[HoTaNdSwEeT]

[HoTaNdSwEeT]

the dude at 4:43 looks like the rock lol

[FreddiePipes]

Ha! He does! lol

[HoTaNdSwEeT]

what was dudes name that looks like Lionel Ritchie?

[FreddiePipes]

I have no idea, besides Rudy Ray Moore and Julius Carry, I'm not familiar with any of the other actors in this film.

[HoTaNdSwEeT]

oh ok,thanks for getting back to me so promptly! :)

[NepperCat]

Not nearly as good as Raheem Abdul Muhammad's review..keep trying.

[HoTaNdSwEeT]

i actually just saw both dolemite and disco godfather the other day lol i gotta say their alright movies even tho the part in disco godfather where tucker is forced to inhale PCP thru a gas mask causing him to have a HARSH(and that's just an understatement) TRIP! SCARED THE SH!T OUTTA ME! lol,does anyone know what happened to bucky in disco godfather tho? i know he took too much pcp at tuckers club and tripped out and had to go to the hospital but did he die?

[FreddiePipes]

Bucky comes back at the end to help fight the drug dealers. He's the guy in the sweet silver jacket.

[HoTaNdSwEeT]

right on! i gotta watch that part again lol

[dukowski1965]

Say it not so. Bucky went to the big Angel dust bowl in the sky

[tavon36]

I've always wondered about this movie. You gave a great review!! He was hilarious and his movies were ridiculous. He will be missed.

[FreddiePipes]

Thank you and I agree about Rudy--he was something else.

[bacrec1]

"Invisible Man" You're a horrible person XD

[AbbottSupreme]

I can Dig it!!!...Dope review!!!..

Good look LurkOnFilm for sharing this vid!

Peace

[ChopSkullTheatre]

She thought her baby was a ham! LOL

[uklittleguy]

Another great review from the Rev.Phantom!!!!

'Disco Godfather' was such a cool film!

In my opinion there were no 'bad films' in the 70's..lol ;)

The spirit of Rudy Ray Moore lives on...!

"Put yo' weight on it!!! :)

[FreddiePipes]

I agree--"bad" is a generalization--and up for different interpretation.

[LurkOnFilm]

Your Rudy Ray Moore impression was worth the admission price alone!!

i couldn't quite catch what he says at the end?....

[FreddiePipes]

That would be..."I'm the Godfather and my name is Tucker. Everyone knows I'm a bad fucker!" Which sound like a negative thing when you think about it. lol

[LurkOnFilm]

I thought as much ..

'thought he might have sneaked a "mofo" in there on a scene cut haha
