Nice effects though.
Memorable, crazy movie
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreI'm surprised I never heard of this before. It had some really funny moments. The attack goats cracked me up.
View MoreThis movie is the severed horse's head bleeding all over the pajamas of intelligent moviegoers everywhere.Helmed by writer-director Jim Abrahams - the comedy maverick who brought us Airplane and Hot Shots and The Naked Gun - words cannot describe the humor that every single frame of this movie judiciously avoids.Attempting desperately to be a spoof of The Godfather and its ilk, Mafia! stars Lloyd Bridges as Don Cortino and Jay Mohr (who does a killer Walken - but not here) as his Pacino-esquire son. That is all ye need to know. From there, it's downhill fast.Don't ever mention this film around me again.
View MoreI was channel surfing when purely be accident I came across this movie being televised on a local channel. Well, what a surprise! This is one of the better movie satires. Goofy scenes, great one-liners, great comic acting, all combined to make this movie an amusing and enjoyable entertainment experience. It's surprising that this movie is not better known because it deserves more recognition. The movie is funny without being pretentious and pokes fun at gangster films without being nasty or cruel. The characters are endearing and the actors perform their roles with great comedic skill. The humor is lowbrow, but that's good because lowbrow humor can be funny.
View MoreI stumbled upon this movie a couple weeks ago & thought it was so funny! You have to be mafia-conscious to know what's going on & what films these spoofs are taken from in order to get the gist. The Godfather films, Casino, Goodfellas (even Jurassic Park & Forrest Gump are thrown in as a bit of a surprise!) There's a 'Ginger-type' girl from Casino paroding Sharon Stone & so many more people playing people from those famous films! See if you can pick out who's playing who & that's the fun of it! And the scenes have been re-created so exact, it's eerie! Sometimes you forget you're NOT watching The Godfather until you see white-haired Lloyd Bridges in that dark 'business office' of his naming people & events that are non-existent! See it for laughs! (Ladies, see Louis Mandylor as the middle-aged Vincenzo! That's what caught MY eye!)
