Fugitives Run

This is not a good movie. Sometimes it is downright embarrassing - embarrassing for the actors because they're IN it, embarrassing for the viewer because they're watching it. But I just couldn't turn it off.

This flick is chaotic and totally implausible, but knows it and doesn't take itself seriously. It's a send-up of various movie genres, of 'Cowboy/Indian' stories, of crime stories. It's really bizarre and stars a trio of actors I'd never expect to find together in a film like this.

But, it kept me entertained and it has chinchillas in it. How can you go wrong with chinchillas?

Worst movie ever. Crap. I was forced to watch this movie because of my job, longest 80 minutes of my life. The credits were nearly 8 minutes long, inter-cut with unfunny outtakes and bloopers. Torture.

Michael Moriarty's character had no conceivable motivation for any action, his only feature was to burp and fart at inappropriate times. He has come a long way down since Law and Order.

Gordon Tootoosis' character was cliché and predictable.

It makes me wonder if any of the actors read the script before they came on board, why any established veteran could agree to star in this a mystery.

Watch this movie if you want to see how NOT to put together an enjoyable flick.

In three of the film's outtakes, shown during the end credits, Hasselholf playfully bemoans his presence. I have to wonder if he was really kidding, as this horrendous comedy must bring nothing to his stature as a worldwide celeb during the heyday of Baywatch. He plays "Clint", a bumbling cowboy performing for kids who teams up with a Canadian Indian lawyer (Gordon Tootoosis) after both are suspected of robbing a bingo parlor. They're in turn chased by a bumbling, belching, farting, and vomiting drunken cop played by the usually great Michael Moriarty, who looks shockingly bad here. I can forgive him if he's actually needed several drinks to get through this picture. Add Brits with bad accents and a trailer home filled with oversexed cackling old women and a lousy ventriloquist, and you have the makings of a movie that will require a will of steel to watch. For those of you guys who are hoping for some bikini-clad T&A, you're out of luck. This movie was made in Alberta, Canada--significantly colder than the California beaches. However, those of you who want to see a middle-aged woman hogtied (cue exasperated groaning sounds)... The screener DVD I watched was titled "Cowboys Run" with "Thomas Leigh" credited as director on the DVD case and "Alan Smithee" on the film itself, proving Mr. Leigh possesses great wisdom. One more comment: although no animals were harmed during filming, this movie has a bizarre obsession with hurting animals as a running gag. I suppose those who really find this sort of mistreatment funny can grab this movie along with "Mondo Cane" and split their sides laughing.

I had the opportunity to view this film at the fargo film festival. It was not good. The film was shot on dv and did not look profesional at all. The acting, directing, and cinematography of this film were some of the worst i have ever seen. the camera movement is always shaky, the director didnt even want to put his name on the picture and Hasselhoff couldnt act his way out of a box. The plot of this film is about a cowboy (Hasselhoff) and an Indian lawyer who get accused of robbing a bingo barn and go on the run from a currupt cop, a crazy biker, and a nutty taxidermist. enough i could crap a better film. try to avoid it at all cost
