Absolutely the worst movie.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreOne of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Coyote's Latin Name ("Famishius-Famishius") becomes Dumpius Trumpius. STINKER is surely keeping the U.S. Secret Service up at night as this review is being written, since it foresees Trumpius being blown up, bludgeoned, railroaded, lightning-struck, piano-crushed, blown up again, and finally Rube Goldberged to smithereens. As Hotrodhammer wolfs down Coyote Trumpius' lunch, Dumpius has to content himself with eating her dust. (The Transgendered Clintospeedius would have to debate what public rest rooms to use for her "disgusting" business in North Carolina, which will have to rely on Trumpius Rallies as their ONLY form of live entertainment for the long-term future, now that all the institutions of the Civilized World have canceled every scheduled event within the borders of America's Tarry Heels state.) Given all the carnage wreaked against him in STINKER, perhaps the best post-election option for Trumpius would be to seek political asylum with his buddy Vlad "The Impaler" Putin in Russia. Maybe he could make another "sacrifice" by erecting a Trumpius Tower next to the Kremlin.
... View MoreLesser Chuck Jones Road Runner & Coyote short that's still better than all of the stuff that came after Jones left the series. The animation is solid, if not particularly exceptional. The colors are kind of dull, which is odd for the time. I thought maybe it was just the print I saw off TV but I checked out the DVD version and it appears to be the same there. As other reviewers have mentioned, the one notable gag involves a piano. The rest are pretty forgettable gags involving hammers, dynamite, and bird seed. What hurts the cartoon most of all is the canned music score, which is annoying and below the superior quality of the usual composers who worked in WB animation.
... View MoreAnother cartoon from the Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote series and again a pretty funny one. 'Hook, Line and Stinker' introduces the Road Runner as Burnius Roadibus and the Coyote as Famishius Famishius before Coyote starts failing to catch the Road Runner. This time he uses dynamite (twice), birdseed at a railroad crossing and even a concert piano that must fall on the Road Runner. Of course the Coyote will not succeed.This cartoon had me smiling a couple of times and although predictable most of the gags worked for me. The fact that you know exactly what will happen and the cartoon will not disappoint you is one of the charms from the series. Here, the gag with the railroad crossing and the birdseed made me laugh quite hard.
... View MoreNot a bad Roadrunner effort, the film is hindered substantially by a score that will not let up, hammering away at the comedy when silence usually works best when Wile E.'s plans start to fail. Especially unfortunate since this is one where an early Coyote mishap provides an ongoing thread throughout the rest of the short--a nice Jones touch.
