DVD Reviews of Rodney Dangerfield - The Ultimate No Respect Collection
DVD Review: variety, standup, skits, career retrospective, a ton of sweat, and more, from Rodney Dangerfield . . .
Summary: 3 Stars
Known for years mostly as a standup comedian, the films Caddyshack (1980), Easy Money (1983), and Back To School (1986), introduced Rodney Dangerfield (1921-2004) to a new younger audience, reinvigorating his career. The comic who largely built his act upon a deadpan delivery, and getting "no respect", is featured in this three DVD collection Rodney Dangerfield: No Respect (2004), which contains material mostly from the 1980's, when he was at the height of his popularity. This collection includes some comedy specials that are available separately, as well as some new material.
Disc One contains three variety type specials, It's Not Easy Being Me (1981) featuring Bill Murray, Valerie Perrine, and Roseanne Barr; I Can't Take It No More (1983) featuring Robert Urich, Angie Dickinson, and Andy Kaufman; and Exposed! (1984), with Morgan Fairchild, and Harvey Korman. These ABC productions are mostly a mixture of standup and sketch comedy, and do not feature profanity. Dangerfield had a thing for blondes, and among the ladies in these specials, Morgan Fairchild probably displays the most versatility and enthusiasm.
Disc Two contains three HBO specials, It's Not Easy Being Me (1986), Nothin' Goes Right (1987), and The Really Big Show (1991). Standup comedy was immensely popular in the late 80's, and these programs mostly feature various standup comics from the era, with Rodney acting as host, and also doing some sketch comedy. The material is adult, the language uncensored, and there is even some brief nudity. Among the comedians featured are Robert Schimmel, Jeff Altman, Carol Leifer, Bob Nelson, Andrew Dice Clay, Jerry Seinfeld, Dom Irrera, and the always demure Sam Kinison.
Disc Three features the cable special, Opening Night At Rodney's Place (1989), recorded at the Tropicana Hotel in Vegas, with Tim Allen, Jeff Foxworthy, Thea Vidale, and Sam Kinison. In a riotous spoof of The Tonight Show, Rich Little appears as Johnny Carson, and Chuck McCann as Ed McMahon, in a profanity laden sketch, that also features Heather Thomas impersonating Joan Embery from the San Diego zoo. More definitely adult content.
Quite touching is an episode of This Is Your Life from 1981, where host David Frost bushwhacks Rodney onstage during a performance at the Aladdin Hotel, in Las Vegas, to celebrate the comedian's career. For once, even Rodney is knocked a little off his game, and is genuinely surprised and touched, as the guy who gets no respect, finally gets some recognition.
One of Dangerfield's many appearances on The Tonight Show is included. And lastly a never before released 48 minute standup performance from 1988, recorded at the MGM Grand in Vegas. The video quality isn't the greatest, but it is an authentic uncensored look at Rodney Dangerfield in his true element.
While some of this material spotlights Rodney Dangerfield, much of it features him as a host, with significant time devoted to other comedians performing their routines. Those expecting to see Rodney Dangerfield at the center of attention, may be disappointed. This is a fair criticism, and while it certainly would be fabulous to see more of Dangerfield, for now this collection appears to be the best available.
Dangerfield had a long history of aiding the careers of others. He had opened his own comedy club in New York City called Dangerfield's in 1969, and through the years, the club helped keep the art of standup alive, and also provided a place for rising comedians to hone their craft. These contributions are also part of Rodney Dangerfield's legacy, and are another reason why he is in fact highly respected, by his comedy brethren.
