Late to this party. I was assistant cameraman on this relentless 17 shoot (plus a handful of “pickup” days, because it was a random article of faith that Crown made all its features in 17). Mostly remember the one day I spent in the back of a limousine with Penn & Teller and a bevy of strippers. The director, now passed on, was quite an impatient guy and that didn’t really make the shoot very pleasant or safe given so many driving sequences. I’m glad to know it turned out well enough for many here to have enjoyed seeing it. In truth, crews can never tell if they are working on a hit or a dud while praying for someone to say, “Wrap!”

[@josymon]

Spielberg must’ve went through the roof when The Color Purple was number two behind Iron Eagle.

[@chancepaladin]

Up next, exploring Iron Eagle. :D heeeeeeeeeeeel yeah!

[@NocturneTheatre]

My wife and I purchased this movie and watched it over the weekend based on this video, and we enjoyed it even more than we thought we would. I can't believe We'd never even heard of it prior! Thanks Cecil :)

[@Robert5hw]

I've gone out and bought several DVDs based on the reviews from this channel. Dr. Mordrid, Santa's Slay and a few others.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Excellent! You are welcome :)

[@teressaadams9352]

This has been one of my absolute favorite movies ever! Love Deborah Foreman.

[@stillhuntre55]

HOLY CRAP! I'm leaving this comment before watching the video because I *have* to say .. I thought I was the only person on Earth who knew about this movie!! one of my old faves! I love your channel!

[@greazie04]

StillHuntre55 I remember watching this when I was young. It's a forgotten gem.

[@WickedNemesis]

Saw this in the cinema in Dallas opening weekend. My Dad made me go. He really enjoyed it

[@stillhuntre55]

I just noticed I can watch this movie on KZbin for $2.99! Not bad!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks! So happy to see there are others out there who know about this plus a slew of new folks that now want to check it out. :)

[@memyopinionsche6610]

You should do a exploring Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead with Christina Applegate after Married With Children. It's really a good movie.

[@MrUseless247]

Me my opinion Sche agree!!! Love that movie.

[@thekeepaway6705]

Title is misleading if u ask me i thought it would be about a whole summer filled with hijinks and dark humor but it was the girl trying to be a fashion ista and the brother changing its a good movie but i thought it would be a dark teen comedy with good one liners and 90s type angst

[@JennaLeigh]

@@thekeepaway6705 holy run on sentence!!

[@thekeepaway6705]

Ikr

[@gSlover4reel]

Nailed it. I loved this movie, and Deborah was absolutely charming and fun. Wish she would have gotten more roles.

[@CalTxDude]

Great video! My Chauffeur has Been a favorite since 1988! "Now all I gotta do is find a one-legged nun walkin' a goat and I win!"

[@slutsandguts8146]

Awesome movie. I'll watch just about anything with Deborah Foreman! Ok, ANYTHING with her.

[@RECOVERY1969]

Good..Your assignment: "3:15: The Moment of Truth".. Good luck..

[@GoodBadFlicks]

She's great. So charming and genuinely a sweet person.

[@xingcat]

This is a delightful film that I'd totally forgotten about until just now. Thank you for reminding me of it. I'll have to watch it again soon!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@CalTxDude]

Part of the enjoyment factor of your videos is reading the comments! Bravo my friend! You manage to bring together a witty and fun group of people!!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thank you! I am lucky to have a very cool following :)

[@odinsplaygrounds]

Love this series. Like crack. I can't get enough.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

:)

[@CalTxDude]

WHO'S crack?? LoL

[@crowgrl13]

This is one of my all-time faves! It's an adorable and sweet movie, Deborah Foreman is so lovable, and it's such an 80's time capsule!

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

I remember when this movie came out! I did also see iron eagle but not color purple.

[@McDuffin]

I love this channel. Takes me back to the good old days of USA’s Up All Night. Do one on The Outing.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@carrieanneatreides6240]

Yes!!!

[@wjhull]

On one hand, good on Crown International Pictures for giving Beaird a shot, but on the other hand, screw them for doing literally nothing else right. Meddled with the script because it wasn't trash, inserted a rape scene for T&A, lied about box office being larger than it was for publicity, lied about box office being smaller than it was to rob the director, decided not to release a soundtrack which screwed the band... with practices like that, it's no wonder they went belly-up a few years later.

[@ThreadBomb]

It seems like the husband was a dick, but the wife was okay. I wonder if they got divorced?

[@wjhull]

Ah, so it's like a Slinky situation, where a husband made a toy out of a spring that goes down stairs, and then his wife took it to trade shows, handles the marketing, and ran business while her husband gave all their money away to religious cults, moved to Bolivia to join a commune, and spent the rest of his days bombarding her with letters demanding that she 'repent' while she fought to bring the company back from bankruptcy. Okay, maybe not exactly like Slinky...

[@captassassin5680]

Cecil, your channel is pretty awesome! It’s like a hilarious IMDB! Only problem I have is that KZbin didn’t recommend your videos a whole lot sooner!

[@orangelion03]

Oh my god...those DIMPLES!!! Great review of a sweet little film. Foreman deserved a much bigger career than she had. Great comedic instincts, that gorgeous smile, that whole "cool hot chic-girl next door" thing. Had a serious crush on her back then.

[@josiecamacho7713]

I have always loved this movie. My sister and I would plan 80s movie night and My Chauffeur is ALWAYS on the play list.

[@wulfgar6749]

I will definitely check out this flick a 1940's style comedy set in the 80's not the kind of film you see much nowadays, if I ever see Sam J. Jones at a convention I'll get him to sign the DVD for me 😀👍

[@rodericperez4204]

With the resurgence of Barbara Crampton, I once suggested that we should see if Kelly Maroney and Deborah Foreman would want to make comebacks. Could you imagine a horror comedy with such talent? It would be amazing.

[@defiraphi]

They don't make movies like this anymore , with that i mean a bunch of old classy actors/actresses , classy lead roles , great car brand Rolls Royce and a great comedy . Love such movies that you feel good after watching it . This movie My Chauffeur kinda reminds me to Working Girl starring Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver and Melanie Griffith also one of these feel good movies . Sadly nowadays there aren't classy movies anymore or they're extremely rare , everything has changed to the worst in movies today .

[@williamduhamel7726]

Deborah Foreman always had that smile. The “Hammer” quote in Real Genius gets me every time.

[@charms1vp]

I really appreciate your Exploring episodes and the amount of research you put into them. I hope it was as much fun to make as it was to watch. Cheers.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

It sometimes amazes me that a movie like this got finished in a short budget within a short time.

[@KOSMICKEN09]

The Penn and Teller scene is bizarre and funny

[@jasonscalise5]

My Chauffeur was the first R-rated movie I saw (or at least remember seeing), on HBO, sleeping over at a friend's house. I must have been 8 or 9. I've rewatched it since; it's pretty fun.

[@deborahlepage1789]

Loved this movie. It's so funny and periodically, a day might need a line to make someone smile. Cause on a bad day "All I need to do is find a one legged nun walking a goat, and I WIN." The periodic toss in of "It IS BAA--BE isn't it?" Wins a smile and sputtered snickers from those in "the know", even twenty years on. The other VERY quotable run can be the whole section of "My my it's vERy hot, but thank GO--uD. It isn't sti--ckAY. I just HA--et when it's stick--AAy, " The quotable conversations with someone else who finds it funny and so memorable. As for the talking car bit. The Brentwood Limousine security system locking the car thief in and gassing him is so funny. Decades later and I still love this movie, and am still glad to recommend it. I'm grateful he didn't give up and made it as it is. I'r perfect. Thank you one and all, crew of My Chauffeur. Deborah

[@karaitskara]

I throw out the STICKAYY line several times every summer for the last 40 years LOL

[@donewithmodernlife]

How have I never seen this? Once again Cecil you mine up some cinema gold.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

:)

[@AubreyTheKing]

Penn & Teller were one of the greatest comedians in the 70s through the 90s in my opinion. LOVE THOSE GUYS! Great Exploring film video, man! At first I was like, WHOA! THIS beat The Color Purple? then later, Oh ok! it was false lol Still, I would love to check this out as well!

[@dantasticmania8728]

It just goes to show you how much indies films have changed and how anti-establishment ,anti-,pc they were back then. Until the director's guild was putting a stop to films like Porky's from ever reaching box office gold. Now independent films are pro establishment, pro pc garbage or basically celebrities bragging about how they can direct a boring art house film that nobody wants to see.

[@scottjo63]

Finally a movie I was not too interested in (I was interested in it once because the "valley girl" was in it watched a little bit got disinterested in it), however, as always, you made this enjoyable listening about the backstory, history, the making of it etc. I might revisit it one day but right now, no. I wish, though Debra Forman made more movies when I discovered Valley Girl. She really deserves more.

[@Madbandit77]

Scott Johanson She also had a bit part in the comedy, "Real Genius", starring Val Klimer. Like "Valley Girl", it was directed by Martha Coolidge.

[@darkwolf9253]

I actually caught this film on cable back in the 80s when I was a teenager, and really enjoyed it. Recently I found a used copy of it on DVD and re-watched it after all these years and it really holds up. It's a lot of fun and has a certain charm to it that doesn't really exist in movies anymore. Great soundtrack too... I really love this movie. Check it out if you've never seen it.

[@Vegeta8300]

I have Crohn's Disease. It sucks! I've had 4 surgeries removing many feet of my intestines. Because they get so inflamed and scarred from the disease they close shut. Which has almost killed me many times. Not a fun disease. It killed my father in law. He was diagnosed in his 40s, and it killed him in less than 5 years.

[@WickedNemesis]

Should i thumbs up this comment??? Anyways, good luck

[@ju-shi-san]

I have Crohn's too! I've also had 3 feet of intestines removed. I happened to be taking my medicine for it while watching this video. >.

[@caravaggio1534]

I recommend an exploration Angel Heart, starring Mickey Rourke, Robert De Niro and Lisa Bonet.

[@carrieanneatreides6240]

Caravaggio Yes please!!!

[@DestinyPifer]

One of my favorite movies! I love the romance and how wild it is!

[@xKynOx]

I love the party animal, i have that UK Quad (30" x 40") @ 1:24

[@Scatscar1985]

This was the first Crown International movie I ever saw, and still the best along with "My Tutor"

[@barnhartjoel]

Just rented this after seeing Cecil’s review a while back. Good stuff! Thanks, GBF!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikeyp2277]

0:07 He probably was trying to break into Hollywood during the early 70s based on his birth date. Great video as usual.

[@Phaota]

I have this on Blu-ray and the complete soundtrack. Classic 80s comedy.

[@tleeg74]

Daaaaaaamn this movie takes me back. Deborah Foreman was so hot in this movie. I had the biggest crush on her in Valley Girl.

[@Kanvass01]

haha, the dialogue at the end was fucking gold.

[@DMK48906]

I am shocked to see this here. Someone else remembers this great lil movie? Yes!!!

[@jaysonthelucero5478]

Your reviews are the most thorough and entertaining that I have come across on youtube. I fucking love GoodBadFlicks. Even though I sometimes wish you reviewed more films that I've seen, I'm happy to be discovering some fun new films. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@jeffburnham6611]

I still can't believe more people haven't seen it. It ranks high as a romantic comedy of the 1980's. And although April Fool's Day wasn't that great, I loved Deborah in all her films.

[@OfficeIcarusLLC]

*Fck yeah!* I've been looking for an HD copy of this 1980's HBO late-night classic for A WHILE! The *whipped cream scene* at the end was always my favorite scene; albeit at 11 years of age.

[@DGoodhart]

Haven't seen this in ages... I had no idea this was even out there any more, so thanks for doing this, I've just added the Blu-Ray to my wishlist.

[@fabes63]

That last scene for some odd reason put a smile on my face.

[@boxzero6728]

I need these videos in my life!

[@smorgybuff]

This is one of my favorite films. I've used the "babe" line numerous times but my favorite is the line "We've been bad" which I had the occasion to use once.

[@amstel5468]

When I wake up and realize it's monday -> 😡 When I realize it's GBF day -> 😁

[@GoodBadFlicks]

:)

[@deadpan80]

Side trivia note: One of the members of the Wigs at 8:06 is Marty Ross, more infamously known as a member of the ill-fated New Monkees in the late 80s.

[@brybaby89]

Omg... Where has this been my whole life. Pretty sure I'd love this!

[@LordBaktor]

She reminds me of Phoebe from Friends, or should I say that Phoebe reminds me of her?

[@KarstensCreationsKC]

Now all I can think about is Lisa Kudrow happening to catch a rerun of this film before her FRIENDS audition, LOL...

[@goregrindisthebestgenre]

I love Deborah Foreman in April Fool's Day. I wish Scream Factory would release a Blu-Ray.

[@thecrowpit24]

I thought Deborah was absolutely adorable in this film.

[@EmergencyChannel]

They captured the feel of mid 30’s - early 40’s comedies pretty well.

[@rashadpreston7389]

This is my favorite channel. I've watched every thing at least once. I really like the movies you choose.

[@DiarraHarris]

Okay based on the few clips I saw in this video I've got to see this film now!

[@dakritic]

The Spielberg connection was interesting and hilarious.

[@kellybrincks]

Love the movie. The people behind the scenes sound like monsters

[@jomeke101]

Another great video...I love how you pack so much information about the movie within only 15 or so minutes. My only complaint is that the videos are to short , I want to see more..more..more.lol.. Always look forward to your next video...keep up the good work..

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@deborahlepage1789]

Great review babe. It is babe, isn't it? I didn't see it in a theater but I have loved this one for twenty years. It is babe, isn't it? Worked it's way into every day Conversations, along with "all I have to do it find a one legged nun walking a goat, and I win." The fun of this movie has made it a long favorite with a long standing few catch phrases that bewildered people that might have overheard us talking like it was normal "My my it's very hot, but thank gawd it isn't sick-ay...could you imagine that? A stick-ay desert, why that's as impossible as an intelligent woman....My my, I miss Scarlet..." Just fun repartee. The fun echos in people's bewildered expressions.

[@snoo333]

enjoyable as always. hope you do some play by play of a full movie.

[@chrisberatis2612]

Excellent exploring video Cecil please review The Gate.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@chrisberatis2612]

You’re welcome.

[@speabody]

For some reason I was just thinking of celebrity crushes (who are older) and in the 90s Deborah Foreman might’ve been my first. I explained to someone in a livechat who she was, which made me revisit the trailer (whereupon I only just NOW realized that Sam “Flash Gordon” Jones was her love interest) and then the algorithm brought me here, which is a nice surprise. It’s a bit odd I don’t remember much about the movie as 1) I was absolutely smitten with her, and 2) your praise of her performance mirrors exactly what I thought when I saw Amy Adams in Enchanted. (That movie was so not made for me, so how I even saw it is another story entirely.) Particularly when you say “no offense to the supporting cast.” Your assessment makes me want to see how I missed this the first time. I hope it was just youthful stupidity that I didn’t appreciate it back then. You’d think I’d be enthusiastic about Deborah Foreman carrying a movie. I don’t remember the yoga thing but I do remember that by the time I was old enough to appreciate film, late 90s, she was long gone from acting and into web/graphic design and photography, which I thought was a cool side (or main) hustle for such a babe. I vividly remember her AOL design page, with her bio and those eyes and smile that were as entrancing at 40 as they were 15-20 years prior. Unlike most people I’ve never had celebrity crushes, and I was never into models despite growing up in the supermodel era. Celebrity crushes have always been illogical to me. Except Deborah. I always forget Deborah, the one time I was well and truly smitten.

[@watcherg5]

Finally, one i have seen on Netflix

[@dmcclintock1457]

Oh my god now I want to see this movie.

[@CybermanBill]

The lead singer of the “Wigs” in this movie, also was one of the “New Monkees” when that show came out. His name is Marty and s he’s actually very talented. He can play many instruments amend has a great singing voice. Check him out! 🤖🤓

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Will do!

[@deborahlepage1789]

I still love this movie. The "my, my it 's very hot" dialogue and "it is babe isn't?" Was a sometimes still is a running gag in my group of friends. This movie doesn't get the appreciation it deserves and the "gratuitous nudity" works against it in my opinion.

[@kyleborum1500]

Oh my a Reading Eagle TV guide. That's a first for me on the internet.

[@orinanime]

I've never heard of this movie. But those last two clips were hilarious. I've got to get it

[@chazarcola7639]

Please do a video review of MY TUTOR starring Caren Kaye and Matt Lattanzi.

[@johnrife7134]

Deborah is so fucking adorable.

[@strykertool]

This is what you call a true adult comedy. Not a teen sex comedy where they are trying to get laid or contain physical comedy. This actually had a surprise love story. Deborah Foreman played Casey with a heart of gold and was a likeable character. Ah.such a good movie.

[@brandonpage7087]

Thanks for unearthing another amazing 80s gem for me, Cecil! I will definetly look for this one. Since you mentioned School Spirit, would you ever consider covering that one?

[@GoodBadFlicks]

You are welcome! School Spirit is on the list.

[@jjenk911]

Now I have to find this movie and watch it. DAMMIT, CECIL!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

:)

[@WickedNemesis]

Yay!! I actually have seen this one! Maybe only the 15th of your good bad flicks

[@XA4AMA4A]

You're great as always. Thanks, man!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

You're welcome :)

[@jenryan82]

I love this silly movie.

[@evilbob840]

Not only did I see My Chauffeur back in the '80s, but I saw Party Animal back then too.

[@juliedominesey9009]

Thanks for the backstory on this wonderful feel good film ... the entire cast was awesome .. and it’s interesting to know that they were awesome and made an awesome movie despite studio interference . The studio wanted something different than what was produced.. the studio was wrong .. it’s a shame the screwed beard out of his money as well .. .. it is such a magical simple film that you can throw in when you are down and Debbie just brings you back to a simpler time .. I was 16 when this cane out so I lived it .. I also thought hot tub time machine captured the time pretty well .. those of us who lived it will tell you cocaine is a hell of a drug .. then we have to explain it to those who did not live it because as we say it we aren’t talking about bad things we are talking about just how much we could get done in a short amount of time .. you had to be there 😉

[@Filmation77]

8:10 side note:the lead singer,Marty Ross would go on to semi-fame (or semi-infamy )as one of the members of late 80s /Early 90's "The Monkees" band reboot project called The New Monkees

[@MrWilde]

Oh man that was an awesome movie, thanks for reminding me.

[@howsitvingoing2048]

I just watched ur personal YESYES story. French for yes and german for yes (oui-ja) I'm a big fan of your channel! I'm sad that i didn't see this before. I noticed alot of comments on old school death metal like entombed and cannibal corpse which i grew up obsessed with from its inception...early days of Tampa Bay...etc. But this story gives us more in common. I believe you. And I also learned the hard way by doing the exact same thing that you did....when the bird fell. But different. Anyway. Not to be toyed with. Theres an out of print boom called Ouija the most dangerous game. It's written by the Warren s many years before the conjuring. Excellent warning about how such a simple device is so dangerous.

[@buckybarnes3803]

At about the same time judging on how he looks Penn jillette also did an episode of Miami Vice. Looking as goofy and awkward as ever, but a good performance (nothing to do with magic) !

[@blackdragon6]

probably should do a Exploring Iron Eagle, and Color Purple.

[@OldHickory1971]

Underrated classic. Great review.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@beageler]

I was right there with Mr. Spielberg. But I would've bought that word of mouth about the Color Purple might've taken a bit longer. Beating it a second week? Never, that movie is a masterpiece.

[@joshuafrohm921]

I don't know how I've never heard of this film im watching it right away

[@ghostdog2041]

You should do a Space Truckers review. For whatever reason, they are really hard to come by. You could corner the market!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I did but 20th Century Fox took it down.

[@benjamindlevin]

That line she says "It is babe, isn't it?" Is also in the movie Chopping Mall. I cannot find any connection. Between this film or that one. Does anyone know why this line is in both movies?

[@oejlen]

Nice video. Have you seen Hell comes to Frogtown?

[@floydlooney6837]

Sounds like the idea would have been a good sit-com

[@ghettoflyer]

I have NEVER Ever Heard of this film... (or seen it in a rental store) It does look like 80's fun to watch movie.

[@MrWilde]

So very excited to see it's on Prime. YES

[@bobbatcher6021]

My group of friends and I were big fans of "The Party Animal". It came out on video at just the right time for us to be firmly in the target audience.

[@MacNille]

FLASH! SAVOIR OF THE UNIVERSE!

[@ThreadBomb]

savoir faire?

[@PeachFlavoredKaiju]

I will always love your videos cecil

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@markdayell61]

She was adorable in that movie!

[@americansupervillain4595]

I remember watching this movie on cable late at night thinking I would get to see lots of T and A.
