DVD Reviews of The Villain
DVD Review: is the writer
Summary: 2 Stars
As the Wikipedia description says with 100% accuracy, The Villain is a loony toons cartoon brought to life with Kirk Douglas laying elaborate diabolical plans that back-fire a la Wiley Coyote. (The loony toons theme music even plays at the end of the film.) Schwarzenegger plays the naive and inexperienced do-gooder that he was to reprise later in Twins, and Ann-Margaret plays a seductress. All parties turn in performances appropriate to the roles written for them. The best character and funniest acting is Douglas' horse, Whiskey. Not a lot of laughs, although I did get the giggles over the faux native name "Anxious Beaver." And there is an unintentionally hilarious story that Schwarzenegger (HS) tells Ann-Margaret (CJ). I have transcribed it below. What makes it so funny is the delivery. Schwarzenegger does act, he just recounts this anecdote in the exact same manner as he recounts anecdotes during interviews in Pumping Iron. If you know what I'm talking about, you can see how this comes off:
HS: I saw a ho bunch of crazy hoses running down dah main street of dah town. And so I finally realized that, uh, these were runaways. And, uh, you know, so I jumped on my hose, and I chased them down dah street. As I ran after them, it was crazy. Their hooves were beating on the ground. They were going faster and faster. I was getting faster and faster catching up with them. And the problem really was that there were children, and women, and old men in danger on the street, you know. And I kept going faster, and it was really a dangerous situation, you know, and I tried to save them.
CJ: So you risked your life to try to stop them?
HS: Yeah, I mean, uh, I do this every day. I try to do the right thing, you know, and uh, uh...
CJ: Oh, how wonderful!
HS: So I kept running and running after them and finally I did catch up with them.
If you are tempted to try this movie, don't read any other descriptions of it, especially the Wikipedia entry, as there is only one plot twist, and it can get spoiled easily.
