Robby Benson: A 'Die Laughing' Can-Can!

A fun Tribute Video to Robby's 1980 comedy-'Die Laughing!
Robby did all of his own stunts for this one!
UGH, we were still just toying around with our video program, can see lots of room for improvement!

All young cabbie Daniel Pinsky wants is a chance at the big time with his band 'Rush Hour.' Through an unusual turn of events he finds himself being framed for the murder of a scientist. He was in possession of a monkey that is carrying a formula for turning atomic waste into a plutonium bomb. Now with monkey and love-struck friend in tow, Pinsky's a wanted young man. To add to the mayhem he's being chased all over town by kooks trying to get the formula. He hilariously outruns and outwits them at every turn, but most importantly he must make it to the battle of the bands semi-finals!

Enjoy! Love Valerie and Ginger *-D

I a friend in the film; John Brachi and got to hang out on the set a couple of days...

Met Robbie and talked about astrology...came back next day and did his chart...met Elsa Lancaster next day and the rest of cast...Robbie was very friendly and kind...he thought the movie would be a bomb...I think the original title had 'Monkey' in it.

@craigster1244 That's very cool. I think the movie is pretty funny. Not a hit, but loved all the music. Too bad there's no album.

This brings back great memories of the movie. I saw the movie 4 times in two days while at an Army training center in Germany in the early 80's, there was notheing else to do at night but go to the movies. There are 4 or 5 scenes that watching it once you wont catch. By the 3rd time I was already laughing at the scenes knowing they were comming. If you want to know what they are send me a message but you should watch it first ot twice to see if you can catch them. Thanks was great.
