The movie sets the tone of the film early on and completely changes from around the half way mark - in line with the discovery of his disease.
The audience follow Andy's life from his early childhood to his death from lung cancer. Man On The Moon is a comedy/drama about the life and unconventional comedy of Andy Kaufman.
This is a marvelous comedy with plenty of memorable moments. If you look up some of Kaufmann's stunts they're identical as to how they are portrayed in the film. Despite not everything being factual, what was an actual occurrence was shown in a highly realistic and accurate sense. Woody Allen must have thought so since he casted DeVito as a comedians agent four years later. Danny DeVito also plays a common role for himself, but he did his job. Jim Carrey, was an obvious choice, (despite this not being a break out role for him) he did an excellent job portraying Andy Kaufmann. The film has plenty of golden moments, and I can't say I'd remove or even cut down any scenes if I was in Milo's Formans position. What this film does tremendously is it keeps you guessing on what's a goof and what's not until the end. I've heard of Kaufmann before, but not being alive during his era I never knew who he was as a performer.

Thanks to various editing squabbles and international censorship laws, it exists in tons of different versions. Written by Gore Vidal (again) and directed by classy Euro eroticist Tinto Brass, Caligula featured a cast of proper actors including Malcom MacDowell and Helen Mirren.Īfter a chaotic shoot, producer and Penthouse founder Bob Guccione took control of the film and peppered it with hardcore sex scenes. The orgiastic fiasco which ambitiously attempted to unite mainstream Hollywood, arthouse sleaze and outright pornography, and instead fell into an outrageously enjoyable pit of filth and depravity. Results: hilarious and gravity-defying.Ĭaligula (1979) - Tinto Brass/Bob Guccione They arrive on the moon only to find… wouldn't ya know it? - a nudist colony! (And, er, blue skies, but we’ll look past that bit). Two scientists come into some cash and build a rocket. We’re going to the moon, and there’s going to be boobs. In the best tradition of sleazy genre flicks, the title here tells you all you need to know. Nude On The Moon (1961) - Raymond Phelan/Doris Wishman She does rape a college jock with a strap-on, though. – stars as the beautiful, bosomy, sexually aggressive and (spoilers!) secretly transgendered Myra. Raquel Welch – who had already jiggled very effectively in One Million Years B.C. Misconceived adaptation of Gore Vidal’s transgressive novel. People’s clothes are constantly at the point of falling off or bursting, sex scenes happen at random and as if by accident, and you'll spend most of the film pondering on whether Meyer was breast-fed for either too long or too little. (Unsurprisingly, Meyer himself was a bit on the plain side).

The quintessential Russ Meyer sexploitation blueprint: a series of impossibly comely women who find themselves irresistibly drawn to an apparently average man. Mostly, though, the film is remembered for a teasing opening sequence which features Fonda stripping off a space suit in zero gravity (and, hence, in slo-mo). Not that I've studied the movie at length or anything - ed) and at one point is subjected to sexual torture (it doesn’t hurt: “What kind of girl are you?! Have you no shame?”) Sexplotation hits the mainstream with a super-camp adaptation of saucy French comic Barbarella starring Jane Fonda is the futuristic sex lady.īarbarella owns a custom sex aid called the Orgasmatron (It is an orgasmatron, but it's called Excessive Machine' in Barbarella. But it makes up for it with the bit where a man is beaten to death by terrifying lady star Tura Satana, the hilarious/horrific knife-throwing fight and a sick/slickmurder by sports car. The most famous of Meyer’s fleshy exploitationers, oddly, doesn’t feature any nudity. Meyer’s trash masterpiece, featuring three outrageously buxom strippers on a violent thrill-seeking drive through the desert. Next: Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! įaster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) - Russ Meyer Which sucks, because it puts us off all the nudity. Unlike the campy Russ Meyer films where the breasty women dominate the weasly menfolk, there’s a leery Puritanism here.
