A Man Called... Rainbo

This movie makes me laugh out loud more than any other movie I have ever seen. Most "comedies" are 80% drama with some comical moments. But every single sound, gesture, and image of this film is perfectly put into place to make you laugh. If you ever have the chance to watch A Man Called Rainbo, don't miss it. This movie is becoming more and more rare, but is definitely worth tracking down. If my VHS tape ever got damaged, I would gladly pay up to $100 to replace it as this movie is truly in a class of its own! I can't praise it enough.

Sylvester Stallone as a hippie who goes AWOL, steps in radioactive dog-poo, gets hassled by a horse, attempts to start World War III, and is being hunted by government agencies as well as the District of Columbia record and tape club. This movie has it all. I don't think it's possible to be any more hilarious! I repeat - if you ever get a chance to view this film, DO NOT MISS IT!!! This is the epitome of comedy; they don't get better than this -

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!

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!?!?

this is a great movie to watch with friends that you don't mind being immature around. it's full of really funny, but stupid humor. buy some beer and watch it with those you love (to get drunk with). horrible overdubs, crude jokes, stallone lampooned. what could be better?

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.
