My Recent Posts
The French
Lucky Luke
movie is a comic carton, very much in the style of
Li'l Abner
, but with a more modern sensibility. I'd also like to use
Rustlers' Rhapsody
(1985) and
Lust in the Dust
(1985) as points of reference, but those were, frankly inferior efforts. At the very least the film's sensibility is more like those than like
Blazing Saddles' or Three Amigos'
.
Fantasy elements include super good luck and a talking horse.
Some scenes and humor are reminiscent of the Hope/Crosby
Road
pictures and there also seems to be some inspiration from Bond films (specifically
Golden Gun
) and the
Wild Wild West
TV show.
It gets kinda slow in the middle portion, but even then there a few good jokes and gags in there. Quite a few anachronisms including anachronistic characters (Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Calamity Jane are all thrown in the mix,) and songs.
Regarding
Les Dalton
(2004) they had a copy in a local store but it was PAL format and I did not want to get it.
"There is a lot of money tied up in this film and people
expect
to hear a boom when something blows up, so I'll give them a boom."
George Lucas as quoted by Harlan Ellison's WATCHING
