Super Fuzz (1980)
3/10
An old extra recalls....
4 June 2014
I must say, after so many years the memory of working as an extra (I was one of the cops and we were paid $50 a day + Burger King for breakfast, lunch and on the last day, dinner. Craft services was a guy with a pen a paper taking orders for whoppers - so much for the glitz and glam) on this film is still as strong as it was nearly 35 years later. That being said and with the acknowledgment that indeed, it was a blast to have had the opportunity to join the fun, it baffles me how anyone can actually consider this B- spaghetti action film one of the funniest flixs ever. At very best it deserves a 3....and I was having a great time. With all due deference to the various wonderful actors who participated - Hill, McHale, Dru, etc., this was not their finest effort. But hey, a payday is a payday in that biz it's tough to be Daniel Day Lewis, or even Billy Bob Thornton for that matter. I did get to have a couple of beers with one of my childhood favorites - Lt. Quentin McHale! Otherwise, please my film loving brethren, reach out and watch more films! Unless you're a real fan of laugh tracks, silly predictable tricks, cumbersome dialog and bad cinematography....try something with a bit more substance.
