And it may be Bakshi's best.
This was like "Heavy Traffic" but two decades earlier. Take away the 70's lingo and bring in the greasers. Ralph seems to be exorcising a rough past with his father here. Not for the first time either.
The best part of this film is the wrecking of the 50's myth. It wasn't all great economy and capitalism. The poor existed. Gangs ran rampant. And the races were at odds. This film points that out. And points again...
The autobiographical angle shows too. Both this and "Traffic" have the struggling artist character getting heat from all around him.
This was like a JD flick but VERY serious. Getting lost in that shuffle was the worst thing that could happen to it.
Go see it.
But what does this mean for those who've only seen his work from Fritz the Cat and Lord of the Rings (or, on the lower end of the spectrum though more recent, Cool World)? What may seem like chaos in a Ralph Bakshi film isn't a fault but the actual style of the piece. Everything and anything can happen in a scene, and like an early Scorsese or Cassavetes it's extremely improvisational. This might seem weird since it's animation (and sometimes folks it really is). Baskhi, however, is a delightfully unbalanced force in animation. His characters are ugly and crude and physical and filled with such puffed up cliché or (yes) stereotype via ethnicity or race or (especially) sex, that it's easy to see why some would be turned off in a second.
Hey Good Lookin' doesn't want the most amount of viewers like a Disney flick. Bakshi has a crazy means to his vision, but for those tuned in it's a deranged kind of bliss. His film is alive and wild in not just the style of drawing but in little set-ups (where else will you get a raucous sex scene in a pile of hamburgers, or a car busting through a music hall and killing the band). Sometimes the comic set-ups merely bring up some chuckles, and others are total riots. While this time Bakshi might not have the best musical accompaniment- the songs range from being slightly catchy 50s throwbacks to crappy would-be-50s-really-80's tunes- and the chaos in the storyline or specific scenes might backfire once or twice into total "what the hell is this" territory, mostly it's all good.
This is a true wildman pulling off a personal vision of a time and place with an eye for character, a knack for casting true to the setting as opposed to higher-scale talent (David Proval, also of Mean Streets, incredibly plays Crazy Shapiro), and if it's not one of his very best, it's close.
The first is that the script and some of the artwork were created in the mid-70's, right after STREETS came out and where Bashki was to originally combine animated and live-action characters... leaving only a few genuine locations, from a dingy poolhall to Coney Island...
But the main similarity to the Scorsese proto-mob classic is that Richard Romanus and David Proval, who played Michael and Tony, voice the main characters Vinnie... a suave, bragging lady's man... and his psychotic sidekick Crazy, resembling a circus clown on acid...
While the visual animation is terrifically bright yet urban gritty... combining the director's COONSKIN and HEAVY TRAFFIC... it simply doesn't feel like a throwback to the 1950's, where the flashbacked story takes place...
Instead centering more on the two buddies basically just hanging around, mostly with two girls, while the violent gang aspect is less than peripheral (attempting traits from THE WARRIORS to THE WANDERERS)... and a musical singing-group side-story feels out of place...
So overall, Ralph Bashki's HEY GOOD LOOKIN' would have probably worked better as an animated short since... while there's plenty of noisy action... not much literal ground's really covered.

- CuriosidadesLive-action footage was shot as part of Ralph Bakshi's original vision to have the film be a combination of live-action and animated characters (like Uma Cilada para Roger Rabbit (1988)). The only animated characters were Vinnie, Rozzi, Crazy, and Eva. The rest of the cast were live action characters shot on live action sets. This version was finished in the late 1970s. When it was initially shown to Warner Brothers executives, they told Bakshi that they loved it. A week later, they told Bakshi that the idea of having live-action and animated characters in the same frame would never work, as it was too unbelievable. Warner executives also referenced the controversy from Bakshi's film "Coonskin" (1975). He was forced to throw out all the live action footage and reanimate it. Bakshi, having to pay himself, took five more years to complete it around other projects before its official release in 1982.
- Erros de gravaçãoAt 52m 44s (on the DVD) Rozzie's left breast's nipple & areola are noticeably out of her shirt; only the areola and nipple are her base skin color instead. Just a few seconds earlier, she had completely tucked her chest into her shirt.

Crazy Shapiro: Well, sometimes I wanna draw a picture of it.
Vinnie: A picture? Hey, Hey.. Norman Rockwell, draw me a picture here. Come on, come on. Draw me a picture.
Crazy Shapiro: I can't draw. It's just, like, I "feel like it" sometimes.
Vinnie: Hey listen to me, will ya? There's two-million faggots in Greenwich Village that "feel like it?" You know what I mean? You wanna be two-million and one, huh?
Crazy Shapiro: Your mother!
