Jerry Lewis, Madeline Kahn, the worst Vonnegut adaptation

For those who haven't heard of the film "Slapstick of Another Kind" (1982), here's some text from yours truly, from the former Funhouse blog:

Writer-director-producer Steven Paul made in Slapstick a film that attempts to visualize some of Vonnegut's craziest, cartoon-like images, and fails in a really amazing manner. In the process, a really dazzling cast of comic actors do their damndest, but only provoke groans and open-mouthed wonder. Jerry Lewis and Madeline Kahn play a couple who give birth to mutant giant twins (also Jerry and Madeline) who become a joint mastermind when they put their heads together (literally). Marty Feldman does a Peter Lorre impression as their guardian, Merv Griffin and Virginia Graham are on hand, Pat Morita plays a miniaturized Chinese head of state, Jim Backus is the president, and yes, that's the voice of Orson Welles as the alien leader. It's one rough ride, even at a mere 85 minutes, but it truly does have to go down as one of the worst pics ever made.

Can you upload the rest of this movie?

[LeeJTurnock]

The lighting in this film is so crappy the entire cast look like wax dummies.

[RoddyTheHottie]

Could you upload this movie? I want to see this first hand. Any chance it's so bad it's good?

[elc1960]

Yup, this is nakedly awful. People known primarily as comic actors attempting Vonnegut. This makes the ABC Saturday morning cartoon "Will the Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down?" look well-acted by comparison (and that was bad).

You just don't see special FX of this quality nowadays.

Just read the book and thought it could be adapted into some surreal movie, then I saw this. Terrible. If I ever become a screenwriter I will right this wrong.

Jesus... there are crimes that can not, should not be forgiven.

[TANKTREAD]

Wow, Thurston Howell III(Jim Backus)in his greatest role!

[CretinWithACause]

"If God Were alive today, he'd be an atheist."-Kurt Vonnegut This is the absolute worst thing I've ever seen. Slapstick is my favorite Vonnegut book, and for it to get this sort of treatment makes me ill. Lousy job, as per usual, Hollywood. :/

I wish I didn't know about this...how could something involving so many great actors (and vonnegut) be so bad? all I can think to say is WTF!?
