WTF!

David Hasselhoff leads a TRIO of modern day Musketeers (he's a ROCK STAR who at one point in the middle of a concert leaves the two keyboards he's playing at the same time to CLIMB A SCAFFOLDING and engage in a RESCUE MISSION!) and then Cheech Marin shows up with a RING that proves he's a fourth Musketeer, joining the other three. He's a petty crook who got the ring through THIEVERY! John RHys Davies plays the Musketeers' "Bosley", sending them out on missions!

HASSELHOFF has a mustache that is supposed to be DASHING, I imagine, but really just made me think that EVIL MICHAEL KNIGHT had stumbled into a bad TV movie.

this is from 1992, it is playing on UPN right now in Los Angeles.

They don't trust Cheech Marin! Alison Doody sez, "You're not ready yet!" but John R-D makes them take him along anyway!

apparently being a musketeer in the '90s involved PROTECTING JITTERY MOB WITNESSES

Well, whiskey, I really believed in what I was selling. I really... I think George Dickel is absolutely the best Tennessee mash whiskey. It's my understanding that Jack Daniel's was an attempt to try to take the recipe of George Dickel to a commercial state of reproducing it. Whereas they couldn't do that with George Dickel, because in order to make it the way they make it, they would have had to repeat too many different formulas. It would have been impossible. They did certain things at certain temperatures in a certain kind of water. So I went down there and looked at their distilleries and saw what they were doing, saw the difference between that and Jack Daniel's, and I couldn't believe it. You take George Dickel and you pour it over ice and hold it up to the light, and it won't separate. But if you take Jack Daniel's and do that, hold it up to the light, you'll notice that the corn oil starts separating from the whiskey, because it hasn't been married at the correct temperature. When you go down and have this education thrown upon you, and then you drink it—everybody got drunk when we was taking pictures. It was about 20 girls and about 20 guys, and we're all down in this creek drunk with two fists of George Dickel apiece, and we all stayed over and had breakfast together, and not a one of us had a hangover.

holy shit ricky jay is in this movie

gear (gear), Sunday, 21 August 2005 03:21 (twenty years ago)

I have a morbid urge to want to see this now, for some reason.

Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 21 August 2005 03:54 (twenty years ago)

i saw the ad for this and actually thought to myself "I wonder if anyone has ever sat through this movie, even counting the directors, editors and studio heads". I caught the first joke (from an operator lady at a switchboard?) and turned to TLC to watch their knockoff of that ABC show where they play good samaritans and makeover a house. The 10 year old rerun of Seinfeld that I've seen 50+ times set quite a high bar for comedy tonight, "ring" just couldn't hang I'm afraid

corbin bernsen as a jittery undercover cop!

gear (gear), Sunday, 21 August 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

but there are funny bits! like the scene where the foursome are going to go undercover at a fancy restaurant and cheech says, "hey make me maitre'd, i look good in a tux!" and one of the others says, "I think we've got a job that's perfect for you." cut to cheech in a busboy uniform, and he says, "not a busboy!!" : o

ahh 20th century humor

gear (gear), Sunday, 21 August 2005 04:14 (twenty years ago)

20th century cheech restaurant humor no less

the cancellation of Golden Palace left a void that only the Hassellhoff was canny enough to fill.
