Disney classic

Still holds up today. Classic comedy for the entire family.

I like Don Knotts in what he does as an actor. This movie is just some good clean fun wrapped up in hilarity! Tim Conway is also good at his role in the movie. I like this movie because it is something that everybody can watch and enjoy!

Not As Godd As The First One

This is the sequel of the first movie that was made in 1975 and that was The Apple Dumpling Gang. In 1979 The Apple Dumpling Gangs Rides Again starring Tim Conway as Amos Tucker, Don Knotts as Theodore Olevie and Tim Matheson as Private Jeff Reed. Those two bumbling outlaws Theodore and Amos are broke and down on their luck. So they decide to try to deposit a check in the local bank only to be accused of trying to rob it. While trying to escape they run into legendary Marshall Wooly Bill Hitchcock. With Hitchcock on their trail the two bumbling outlaws decide to enlist in the Army. Enters Private Jeff Reed who trying to figure out whose stealing guns from the Army surplus. After getting in all kinds of trouble Amos and Theodore end up in the stockade. Although they escape this mess, the witless team who could never shoot straight still can't seem to succeed in going straight. It's riotous, raucous fun as The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again. I saw the first one and I don't think this was as good. However with Tim Conway and Don Knotts together you can't go wrong so I'm giving this picture 8 weasel stars.

Absolutely Hilarious!

I have never laughed so hard at a movie in my life. I'm very disappointed in the rating this comedy has gotten... this film was one of those rare sequels that surpasses the original. A definite must-see for all Tim Conway fans ("Where is your horn, little boy blue.")

Granted, there are some smarmy moments... but Tim and Don shine in this comedy for the whole family!

better than the first movie

in my mind this sequel is better than the first movie.i thought it was funnier,and much better paced.it's shorter,but there's more packed into it.the story is better.Tom Conway and Don Knotts reprise their roles from the first one.unfortunately Bill Bixby does not return.on the plus side,there is more comic mayhem in this one and more action in general.once again,the movie is family friendly.again,if you have nothing else to do on a lazy Sunday,you could do worse than this movie.like the first one,it's no masterpiece,and it's not supposed to be one.it is however an improvement.for me,The Apple Dumpling Gang is a 6/10

Trivia
Disney's marketing department added a small sticker to the film's poster saying "All New!" possibly due to the fact that people thought this was just a re-release (which The Walt Disney Company was well known for during the '70s, '80s and' 90s) of the original film Le gang des chaussons aux pommes (1975). Posters exist both with and without the sticker.

Goofs
When Amos and Theodore first ride into town, they pass an alley through which a hanging electric lamp and power pole with transformer are visible.

Quotes
Theodore Olevie: First thing we're going to do is open a bank account.
Amos Tucker: Now, is that different from opening a safe?

Alternate versions
When shown on network television during the 90s, an extended version of the end credits played. Instead of showing Amos and Theodore riding with their mule, the film faded out as they rode over the top of the hill and then multiple scenes from the film replayed in a small square frame at the top of the screen starting from where Amos and Theodore get their pictures taken, up to the part where Woolly Bill Hitchcock gets strung upside down by Amos when he and Theodore are masquerading as saloon girls. The music was edited to play multiple times before reaching its climax while a computerized credit roll slowly played at the bottom of the screen. This may have been done for stations that needed additional time filled before their next program started.
