A Man Called... Rainbo

This is like a wacked out version of "What's Up, Tiger Lily." Stallone plays this stupid hippie who's trying to get this girl in bed and she keeps blowing him off. It's really hilarious. This is a great tape to have going on during a party.

This is one of the most HILARIOUS movies I have EVER seen! This spoof (of the 1970 movie "No Place To Hide") is about a group of hippies out to subvert politicians bent on espionage. It's filled with funny talk, poop jokes & has lots of cooties on the slovenly cast. Sly keeps scratching himself like the camera's not even rolling (obviously some outtakes were put back in). There's a hippie chick that talks in the funniest voice I've EVER heard (due to excellent dubbing). One guy keeps referring to the agency in charge as "The FBI: In Color" (a throwback to the '60s). I just can't stop myself from laughing throughout, no matter how hard I try. This is one of the few movies that I enjoyed so much, that an immediate second viewing had to take place!

Just finished watching on YouTube A Man Called...Rainbo which took the early pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone movie No Place to Hide, or the alternate title Rebel that I found on VHS, inserted some extraneous scenes, and dubbed a new script which attempts to add humor of the mostly poop kind. The results were, in a word, lame to the point I got quickly bored and kept hoping it to end. And having a voice-over impersonation of Richard Nixon with the actor's head to the back of us was another bit that got old real quick. In fact, I was only amused at the part where someone ordered a doughboy and we see the Pilsbury Doughboy get microwaved to death! Oh, and also his credit at the end as being played by Popping' Fresh! Okay, I'll just now say if you're curious enough, A Man Called...Rainbo is worth a look but that's it.

This is one of the dumbest spoofs ever made.

Like Kung Pao, it splices together scenes from older (also crappy) movies.

It also adds a dubbed soundtrack rivaling that of an 10-year-old with a $20 tape recorder.

I'm not sure what possessed anyone to make this spoof.

The smelly poop joke that occurs throughout the movie is especially painful to endure.

It wasn't funny the first time we see it.

It becomes even less so, each subsequent time. By the 15th time, I felt like hurting someone.

Unless you like spending your time watching movies that were so poorly done they elicit an physical reaction, steer clear.

Why?? Why did they allow this movie to be made? Why!?!?

If you're ready for a ton of dog poo jokes, and want to see early Sylvester Stallone outtakes bolted together in a really fun parody, then A Man Called...Rainbo is the perfect film to see. This movie made me laugh out loud again and again with its combination of outrageous physical gags and political barbs. The more you watch it, the more you will see...this is a surprisingly well-layered movie, worth seeing again and again!
