Bad Manners (1984)
― visiting, Sunday, 12 October 2025 20:13 (seven months ago)
It's relatively mild, but Take This Job and Shove It (1981) - the first monster truck comedy! - has a busy poster:https://alchetron.com/cdn/take-this-job-and-shove-it-film-16e74ed2-deda-405a-b23d-6cfbe902686-resize-750.jpg
Why was I reading about that film? It was the first film financed by Cinema Group Ventures, whose next film was Walter Hill's Southern Comfort. The company seems to have bimbled along without attracting enough attention for a Wikipedia page. Their next film after that was Hysterical, which is one of those not-quite-the-80s comedies from the late-70s/early-80s that has dropped off the face of the Earth, although it also has a busy poster:https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8b/Hysterical_1983_poster.jpg
It's so obscure that the official trailer appears to be a VHS rip. It has 1970s icon Richard Kiel! But in 1983. That's like having Blondie and The Muppets, but in 1983. It feels weird.
The company went on to produce Best Defense, the rotten Dudley Moore film that had Eddie Murphy in a kind of tacked-on cameo. It opened at number two on the same weekend as Ghostbusters because Eddie Murphy was so hot back then. Imagine if he had been in Ghostbusters. The film would have made infinite money. But it would have been a completely different film - or at least the second half would have been completely different - because there's no way they would have given Eddie Murphy as little to do as they gave Ernie Hudson.
― Ashley Pomeroy, Sunday, 12 October 2025 21:06 (seven months ago)
Does Velvet Smooth really have a guest star called Emerson Boozer? It seems so. He was an actual person:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerson_Boozer
And he still is, because he's still alive. But he was as well.
Shove It dates from the tiny, tiny window of time when it seemed that Robert Hays might go on to be a major comedy star. And for a brief moment he was, because next year he was in Airplane II, which at least made a profit if not very much money. And then, oblivion.
― Ashley Pomeroy, Sunday, 12 October 2025 21:14 (seven months ago)
Noticing the name on the truck there, leading me to interesting details in Wikipedia articles
"The original Bigfoot appears in the 1981 film Take This Job and Shove It, where it appears as the main character's personal truck. This was the first appearance of a monster truck in film. A virtual Bigfoot is used by the character Aech inside the virtual reality universe OASIS in the 2018 film Ready Player One. Other appearances by Bigfoot trucks in film include Cannonball Run 2, Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment, Road House, Police Academy 6: City Under Siege, Tango & Cash, and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle."
I don't think I heard about monster trucks until the 90s, but that wasn't my mien at the time.

Afraid I did miss out! But maybe I did hear about monster trucks in the eighties? Like wrestling, which seemed to be getting big in the eighties, but became such a phenomenon in the next decade it eclipsed its earlier pop culture status.
