Rewatched tonight; had forgotten nearly all the filigree, like William Daniels and Joan Darling as the armed liberal NJ couple kicking ass and packing heat in Chinatown.

Like when the grass blades are in focus and the people are 20 yards away - what movie are we making here?

well Flicker's previous film was this little downtown NYC indie that probably cost $10,000, so he was just trying whatever, and Paramount shrugged til they saw the box office (or until J Edgar called them maybe).

I don't need it explained! I like the weirdness, man.

I also appreciate you trying to give it context. I just thought that was another great little touch of WTF to add to the giant seven-banana lasagna that this movie already is.

Greil Marcus rhapsodizes about Godfrey Cambridge regularly...I've never seen this.

It was pretty common in the cutout DVD bins years ago, so you might have a copy somewhere.
