Heiße Scheine

I liked this movie because of Dennis Farina and Fran Drescher were in it, and it was before they became *really* famous..

I thought it was funny when Sid and Charlie had so much trouble climbing that ladder, but other than that, it was pretty much standard fare all the way...

I didn't hate it, and didn't fell asleep, but I didn't really paid much attention to it either.. so I would have to give it 5/10, see it if you don't have anything better to do.

Recommended for fans of poorly made movies with okay casts.

Fran Drescher is the nagging beautician girlfriend of small time hood, Dennis Farina. After a series of failed get rich quick schemes, including St.Christopher medals with moving lips, Farina and his pal, Leo Rossi, embark on a bigger scam, only to run afoul of New York mobsters. Fleeing to Los Angeles, they stumble upon an incriminating video tape, which leads to extorting a million dollars from some local politicians. The film is extremely uneven. The scenes with Fran Drescher are probably the best part of "We're Talking Serious Money", plus one funny scene in a gay biker bar. All of which, almost makes sitting through this very average comedy tolerable. - MERK

A comedy crime caper that rates 2 - 3 stars. Dennis Farina stars as half of a team of would-be hustlers constantly looking for the "Big Score." They've hijacked pantyhose made in Korea that fit only 41/2 foot women, sold St. Christopher medals with lips that move, and other equally unsuccessful and wacko scores. Farina gives a preview of his future "Get Shorty" comedy tour de force and the pre-"Nanny" Fran Drescher is excellent as his long-suffering girlfriend. Not a lot of guffaws, but quite a few chuckles and grins. Worth seeing more than once.

Victor McLagen and John Carradine for a long time held the record of starring in the most motion pictures, that is until DENNIS WOODRUFF came along and not only broke their records, but starred and appeared in more than their appearances combined. Mention the name DENNIS WOODRUFF and even the extras know his name right away and his sterling reputation. Its a wonder he has not walked away with one or many Academy Awards for his fine acting and his great sense of comedy. I've been on the bus and have heard bus drivers comment as they passed the place he lived at, saying: "That is the home of DENNIS WOODRUFF and there is one of his famous vehicles!" Passengers would crane their necks to get a better view as the driver would slow down so they could all see where Dennis Woodruff resided. Sometimes you can see the great actor in Glendale at the coffee section of a well-known bookseller. This movie was a jewel and launched the careers of Dennis Farina, who greatly benefited from working with the great Dennis Woodruff. Sarge Booker (Dennis Woodruff fan)

I've seen a lot of bad movies in my time, but nowhere else have I seen such an incompetent mob movie. Can you imagine a mobster movie - these things involve lots of shootings and lots of catch lines by definition - where a)No shooting happens at all until the end, and b)The whole movie is built around $10,000. That's how much the characters seek, and probably the total production cost of the movie. Lots of pointless chatter, but has neither muscle (listed above) or brains. Watch it if you want to see the worst mobster flick of all time, or if you need a cure for insomnia.
