Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Expected more

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Dr Daniel Jekyll researches into drugs that would help mankind avoid surgery. He discovers a white powder that unleashes the animal in every man, and in his case turning him from a shy and timid doctor into a wild sex crazed party animal. To the delight and dismay of both his fiancée and stripper girlfriend, whom he met in Hyde mode....Remember the Mel Brooks spoofs from the nineties? Robin Hood Men In Tights, and Dracula: Dead and Loving it to be precise. And remember the Leslie Nielsen spoofs that were not Naked Gun Films?This has the same quality as them, it tries to be funny, and there are a couple of really good gags in the movie, but you have to wade through and abhorrent mess to get to the gems.The cast are fine, and do well with the material, you when you watch this, you realise why it's never had a recognition like many films from the era.And it literally has the corpse of Louis Stevenson spinning in his grave at the end.A knowing wink? Or just submission into knowing that the film isn't that good.

Robert Louis Stevenson has brought the character of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde years ago in a book. Hollywood brought in on film in the early 1930's. Now there's this schlocky, yet upbeat version of the novel, with a very hip Hyde. Here you have a California surgeon name Dr. Daniel Jekyll (Mark Blankfield) who is contrite, hard-working, yet very uptight. Who works for a guy that harries him a lot, and a daughter who very understanding. Jekyll wants to give up surgery, and start to do research work to tap in on the human animalistic side. He would create this powder which has been worked on many times. Its appearance looks like dope, and when he dozes off, he unwittingly snorts it. The results, he becomes this wild, hip, sex-craving, madman name Hyde. Unlike the one in Stevenson's story, he's more hairy, than hideous. Still crude and rude though. Hyde, goes after a woman name Ivy(Kris Errickson), who Jekyll once helped. It's not a surprise when Hyde return to England where the original Hyde got created at. Both women confronted Jekyll/Hyde, and rather than fight for him.... What am I saying? Watch it for yourself, and you will know the answer for sure. Corny and outrageous, this movie is fun all the way. 3 out of 5 stars

Coming from the "druggie" generation, I thought this movie was hilarious. It definitely brought Jekyll & Hyde up-to-date, so to speak. My husband and I laughed all the way through it. Would love to have the movie in my collection. I told my two teenagers about the movie and they would love to see it. They aren't into drugs but they know enough about them to understand the comedy in the movie. It's been so long since I've seen it I can't remember but a few things. I would have to say the funniest part was when Dr. Jekyll dozed off on his lab table and inhaled the straw, while snoring, then snorted up the powdered drug he had invented. Funniest thing I'd ever seen in a movie.

Mark Blankfield played Jekyll and Hyde.Michael McGuire was the dad.Tim Thomerson was the plastic surgeon.Did you even see this movie? I doubt it!Blankfield was fairly popular at this time for playing the pill-popping doctor on Fridays. Thomerson has been funny in anything he does, from movies to series to stand-up comedy. If I ever find this movie on DVD I will definitely buy it. I recorded this movie off of HBO back in '82 and have pretty much worn out the tape. One of the funniest takes on the Jekyll & Hyde theme ever.Of course. with all the cocaine references in this movie, it'd be panned as being way too politically incorrect today, as would Cheech and Chong. Too bad, because it is FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY!
