I saw this somewhere between 6th & 8th grade and some memories have remained (If they're at all accurate). I think, for one, I was surprised to see Rhoda's husband playing a drug pushing villain. Secondly, I remember liking the song the movie would cut to at different points. It was some hippie duo (was it Brewer & Shipley?)pounding away on guitar and piano (was it "one toke over the line"?). The last wisp of memory I have is David Groh and the Drug Dealer holding up a big colorful bag of pills and laughing maniacally. The only thing missing was Dr. Evil laughing with them. It was that ridiculous. Anyway, I'd love to see it again, just to gauge how accurate my memory is. For all I know, I could be combining a couple of different anti-drug shorts. I remember seeing a few of 'em back then.

I love the Ron Wood/Ronnie Lane soundtrack, and have wanted to see this for the longest time. I remember reading something on the director/lead Alexis Kanner and got the impression the movie was lost forever.

However, I just checked Youtube and to my amazement Mahoney's Last Stand is available to watch in three parts (as of 12/4/2012, there are close to 400 views).

Hopefully it will stay posted for a while, but you never know....

As I watch, first impressions are: Maude Adams is beautiful and alluring(of course) Alexis Kanner reminds me of a young Richard Harris. His Mahoney is an eccentric who talks and acts somewhat oddly. I guess the movie will explore why he's chosen solitude... Waiting for Sam Waterston to show up...there he is, looking young and scruffy. That's all for now...gonna watch the rest of the movie.
