Comedian Freddie Prinze appeared in his only TV movie (in fact, his only movie of any kind) when he starred in The Million Dollar Rip-Off. Prinze plays an ex-convict who happens to be an electronics genius. He woos four toothsome young ladies and convinces them to
participate in robbing the payroll of the Chicago Transit Authority. The girls have a little conference among themselves, decide they're all being taken by Freddie, and vow to bollix up the job.
@spookielectric There's a link on his (Freddie) wikipedia page, at the end under internal links (IMD). You can watch the whole movie from start to finish for free :) Enjoy!!
This is a great montage of a great comedian and actor whose life was tragically cut short. Freddie Prinze will always be remembered as the wise cracking Chico Rodriguez on the immensely popular 70's sitcom CHICO AND THE MAN. There is no telling how far he could of gone in his career had he not kill himself. Lovely tribute on a very talented comedian and actor who inspired countless others who followed after him.
Wow! What a fabulous tribute to an idol. Freddie Prinze was the very FIRST of today's modern comics. Eddie Murphy has more than once acknowledged his influence. All of the stills are from a movie called "The Million Dollar rip-off' which first aired in Feb or March of 1976. I have been trying to find it for over 8 years with no luck. If huemee has it I would pay big bucks for a copy. Thanks very much for this very orignal and cool tribute to our idol.
I am Brazilian and I know his story now! As he seemed talented! I would love to have the legend of his work in Portuguese! It would be fantastic!
