Fantastic!

Disappointment for a huge fan!

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I remember "Fridays": Marc and Melanie Chartoff, Mike Richardson, a slew of funny folks coming on after midnight to rock the house! Way funnier than Sat Night Live! Marc was a pharmacist who constantly took just ANY drug within reach and was so spastic and funny. This movie has been a favorite of mine since it came out, and I got a copy on DVD recently! The last time I saw Marc was on an episode of NYPD Blue, he was a crazy homeless guy who built some metal sculpture on public property.I loved seeing Cassandra Pederson (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark!) as the hot Nurse...loved her funny movie too! (favorite supporting actor..."Gonk" LOL!) Saw her on Counting Cars recently.Tim is a classic actor, he does everything and does it well!Keep a copy of this classic, like Bladerunner it will grow over time in status...and we are all soo cool 'cause we knew the Comic Greatness contained in this movie way back when! *Baaaabe!*

So it's a little dated now, it's almost 30 yrs old. Amazingly enough I have this on BETA tape and it still plays just fine. If it came to DVD I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.The drug humor is not appreciated nowadays as it was back then. Then it wasn't as 'harmful'. Much like driving without airbags, seat belts and child seats. I can remember my father crying he was laughing so hard watching this. I had coworkers in the 90's who'd seen it and I could bust them up by getting on the intercom and saying "Iiiiiiiivvvvyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy".Great lines, great spoof of the original, and funny to me anyway even three decades later!

Mark Blankfield played Jekyll and Hyde.Michael McGuire was the dad.Tim Thomerson was the plastic surgeon.Did you even see this movie? I doubt it!Blankfield was fairly popular at this time for playing the pill-popping doctor on Fridays. Thomerson has been funny in anything he does, from movies to series to stand-up comedy. If I ever find this movie on DVD I will definitely buy it. I recorded this movie off of HBO back in '82 and have pretty much worn out the tape. One of the funniest takes on the Jekyll & Hyde theme ever.Of course. with all the cocaine references in this movie, it'd be panned as being way too politically incorrect today, as would Cheech and Chong. Too bad, because it is FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY!

I saw this movie in the eighties and caught it once since. I was hoping it would be on DVD but sadly it isn't. This movie is HILARIOUS. The fact that he can't control his....thing.... and the coke fingernail that grows cracks me up. Don't get me wrong, I'm a cop and I'm against illegal drug use, but, this is a movie. His hair looks like he got shocked and the gold tooth that pops on is pretty laughable too. The way the earing grows out is a little gross. I think the only people who won't like this movie are people that look and act like him on a daily basis. It's a funny stereotype and that's all it is. Drug induced extreme manhood. Man I wish it was on DVD (oops said that already). Do yourself a favor and get some popcorn and a soda and watch this movie. If you don't laugh at least some of the time then you shouldn't be watching movies at all. BTW, I thought he was extremely funny on FRIDAYS.
