I was 10 years old in 1982. This movie was top-notch in it's genre for it's time era and a great comedy classic. I can still laugh at this film after all these years because Mark Blankfield really rocked this comedy-horror and he's "gotta, gotta get the antidote" LOL! This is a crazy, non-sense type of a comedy. Maybe you would have to have lived in the time period this film was made to laugh hard at the movie. Or maybe you would have to learn to let yourself go in order to appreciate this type of a bizarre comedy movie. Whatever it is, the film rating is entirely to low on IMDb for such a great comedy classic.If you liked comedy-horror films like "Young Frankenstein", "Dracula, Dead and Loving It" or "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" then you may enjoy this movie too.9/10
... View MoreBetter than it has any right to be, this movie died a quick and painful death at the American box office. At times sophomoric, at others, bitingly satirical and witty, Jekyll and Hyde is mostly just a near perfect reflection of the times, laden with drug and sexual humor, reminding one at one time or another of everything from the Woody Allen of "Everything You Always Wanted To know About Sex" to the Mel Brooks of "The Producers", Saturday Night Live to Monty Python, Carlin to Cheech and Chong. Watch it, listen carefully because some of the jokes go by really quickly, and remember a time when comedy was allowed to be offensively hilarious.
... View MoreThe "all I have is 5 dollars and my wedding ring..." scene was a riot. I also guffawed at the scene in the bar where Hyde snorted the horse radish and flipped the bird to the Japanese guy and said "Pearl Harbor buddy". I think my IQ is higher than 115, but I'm not sure because I can't count that high.Funny thing, this 10 line requirement. Seems as though they would bash you for making your comments too long, not too short. I hope I don't make it to 1,000 words before I get to line 10.I'm still two lines short. Pardon me while I think and drink, or drink and think. It depends on whether my hands are faster than my mind. Good, I think I've made it to the 10 line limit. Thanks for reading!

Another little tidbit is the actress who played the nurse who would give her wedding ring was the landlord lady of Roy Munsin in King Pin. This is most glorious story ever to be told. It should sell more copies than the bible. My parents played a part in suggesting the release of this movie to a local movie theater. The movie ran for a week and we were one of 4 families to see it. The lady who gave the go ahead (friend of the family) was let go by the theater. I was 3 years old. I have burned through 4 copies on VHS and finally had it converted to DVD. It's beautiful.
